Class Drops
 

Does anyone have information on the latest class drops for United? What are the junior/rookie bases primarily? How many of each type aircraft are falling to the new classes?

Plenty of old threads on this topic
 

The coasts are usually pretty junior. New hires get 737, Airbus, or sometimes 756s

As a new hire plan on EWR or SFO on either the guppy or bus right out of the gate. Maybe 757... that one comes and goes for new hires. Beyond that, there hasn’t been a vacancy bid recently to allow for new hire slots. They have to run a vacancy bid, allow pilots on property to bid, then whatever goes unfilled goes to the new hire classes.

How is LAX looking for either the Guppy or Fifi right out of training?

There’s a good chance you’ll see some newhires get the bus and guppy to lax out of Indoc.

The last vacancy bid had the following unfilled vacancies:
8 EWR A320FOs
10 EWR 737FOs
1 LAX 737FO
1 LAX 756FO
9 SFO A320FOs
19 SFO 737FOs

Odds of getting LAX for a newhire are extremely low; the 2 LAX slots are very likely to be taken by furlough returnees.

I wouldn’t say that that on lax, every vacancy has had 737 fo on it I believe, we have new hires doing ioe now on the bus. Good luck.

There are a few of us recent new hires that will be vacating LAX for the east coast when able.

While I generally take Andy’s commentary straight, no chaser... in this regard I have to strongly disagree:

The odds of getting LAX right out of training are actually fairly high compared to the non-coastal states. You’ll get awarded SFO in BI with about a 99% likelihood and get LAX within a few vacancies after that (again, if not immediately).

Depending on where we’re at in the hiring curve, you’ll get there before you finish IOE.

That last statement is fairly incorrect.
