Right now IAD is stagnant with our 777 and 756 flying all still gone, and 787 is at best 50% of what it used to be. So for now the remaining 737 and A320 flying is pretty overmanned. But the good news is that the widebody stuff comes back as of Feb 2022 and there’s even rumors that some of the 756 flying might come back sooner.
So my guess is that a new hire right now could conceivably see a vacancy bid to get to IAD by next spring.

Got the interview invite, never did get the Becoming United email. The invite listed May/June, but nothing was open in May and only two dates in June!

Also don’t forget that pay cutoff dates make things more confusing. 1st of the month is payment for 1/2 of your guarantee for that month (as long as it exceeds a min number- I think 30 or 35 hrs), 15th of the month is the other 1/2 plus actual additional flying for the previous month. So depending on your start dates and pay calculation cutoff dates, it might take a couple pay cycles for your paychecks to stabilize.
I think they will explain things in your indoc, but for your expectations and financial sake I would plan on having sufficient cash to make it a month or so.
And just when you think you understand it, then you can enter into the bizarre world of PTC MPG LPV pay, bidding in a vacation month, “flying for free,” etc.

It’s in the UPA but if the snapshot taken on the 16th is 45 hours or greater your advance for the next month is 35 hours. If it is less than 45 but greater than 35 hours the advance is 17.5 hours. If it’s less than 35 hours the advance is 0...

It’s a trap if it’s not on paper. There is nothing to keep them honest. On the flip side if it was on paper they could still go against their word but it’ll be more dishonorable because the pilot group could throw their written words in their face.
