3. G line is at 80%
4. FO in question is a 75% 777 FO in a base with 400 FOs.

Let's say I'm a 7 month newhire at 75% in category with 400 FOs. Now let's assume the G line is at 80%. The category would have to increase to 500 in order for me to still have the same 100 behind me. So the base would have to have 100 vacancies, ALL filled by guys senior to me in order to push me back to the G line.


There are summer 2022 hires bidding 75% EWR 777 FO
Yep, spot on. The FO at 80% in SFO 777 has been on property for less than 5 months. Unless displacements happen (they won't), then the flying composition won't materially affect whether or not they are lineholders.

Coming from ACMI and literally finished indoc Friday. Yes, it’s leaps and bounds better. Nevermind the pay & benefits, being treated like a professional and the people alone are worth it.

I am a second-year ACMI FO flying 777, home-based, and have never been on reserve or commuted. ($133/hr is current pay)
I got a class date in march for UA and prefer to bid for 756/787/777 and commute out

I was so excited for the past few days until I started making plans/started getting ready on how to commute and amount of days off I will be getting as a new hire at UA.

I would like to know from all those who have been in such situations,

1) How many days off do you get at UA with a line on average?
2) Will I get to see the money during the first or second year? I am currently at 133/hr and averaging 14 days off with 10k take home.
3) How soon can anyone get a line on IAH 756? or suggestions for any fleet to get a quick line?


I don't know many people who can help me, these questions may sound stupid but it would be nice if someone can shed some light on this.
I would say that if you’re unsure, then stay right where you are until you are more convinced. $.02
