Likely one third of co-pilots will be going non-qual by the end of next month, mainly the bunkies. In three months we'll all be lost qual. It's going to be really hard to get pilots qualified around July 1. I really wonder what the plan is......I guess the FAA could waive currency requirements.....?

the plan is to park them all for good. I wouldn’t be surprised if that will be announce at the next town hall.

we have nothing but LDRQs and CQs scheduled for the vast majority of the sim periods over the next 2 months.....Quals will not be a huge issue. I have seen days in the 787 where every single session for a full day is Landings.
now if they start running displacements then the sim slots will start getting filled by Qual courses.....then we will have currency issues.

it’s going to take ALONG time to train all the 756 pilots plus the secondary bumps they will create.
I can’t see to many 756 pilots dropping thousands a year to go fly a 737 or A320 domestically and a lot of them can hold WB CA and FO. When you start displacing from the top the trickle down is very slow.

I’m currently on 737 at 16% and would be 44% on 756. For me and many others, moving from 737 to 756 would be a significant pay cut. I have (had) access to premium trips and always lots of open time. A 21 hr 3 day on the guppy pays more than the abundant 15-16 hr 3 days on the 756.

What really stands out to me on that page are the number of E-175's owned by United. 71 owned and another 20 for delivery this year. If United is going to furlough a single pilot then those airplanes need to come home. We should be demanding that United pilots (at a minimum) fly United owned aircraft.
As for retiring the 756. IF Boeing can deliver the Max, the Max800 could handle all the close-in, small market Europe flying. The cargo would take a hit, but we could still serve the cities until the 321XLR comes along. Better plan would be to keep just enough 757/767 to cover the larger cargo markets and then just fill in the gaps with the MAX. In either even, assuming we take delivery of the MAX and the 787's this year (and next), something has to leave. We are not in a growth environment.

let me know how your pay compares after all the PPU trips you are going to be getting of the next year. Compare yourself to a 764/763 line not a 752 line. If you compare yourself to a SFO/LAX/DEN line then I agree with you as do all United pilots and that is why the 756 in those bases are so junior.
