You can only make so much lemonade from these part 121 lemons, but at least UA has so many different flavors offered you can definitely find one that pleases your pallete for sure.
Are you living within driving distance or commuting it? I’m 3.7 years and couldn’t stomach a commute to reserve
on the 777 or NB captain. Hope either way you have a great time and I’ll look forward to joining you when I’m above that G line!

Regarding training AQP in the spring so it’s not that bad. But hey whatever floats your boat sir and makes you happy. Whatever you do work on your apps as soon as you’re off training. You never know Military guys make 50% of all legacy hiring. Best wishes! Happy Holidays

Third year 737 FO here, and made over 200K. Worked hard in the summer and took lots of time off the last 3 months of the year.

Happy Holidays to you!
You are asking the right questions!

Also consider you could hold Widebody F/O here at UAL pretty quick and its a pretty nice lifestyle....and you can make as much or more than a junior narrow body Capt'n. 220K and 16 days off with great layovers is nothing to sneeze at. Just my .02!
