Thanks! I’m on the 320 now, I’d be perfectly happy as a 320 FO or CA. You can’t bid for CA in your first year at UA, right?
Hopefully you're aware of the reserve rules here, as they are much worse than where you're at now. Living in base will reduce that pain though. |

At this point, why does Delta hire anyone in Denver and United hire anyone in Atlanta?
Should be able to hold DEN very quickly. Without looking, one, maaaybe two vacancies. There are LOADS of UAL pilots who commute out of ATL. We could open an ATL base and have it staffed tomorrow. |

Correct, both CA and sim instructor require you to be off probation (1 yr) and both are easy to get right now. A new contract with improved work rules may change that though.

I’m aware of them in a hazy way. I know they’re worse, but not specifics. I don’t know much about reroutes either. I figure either way it’s probably better to be in base and deal with it while I’m junior than commute for the rest of my life. Any idea if the new contract might address QOL?

If you’re curious why the OP is desperately requesting UAL DEN upgrade times go look at what 500k gets you for a place. You’ll be asking yourself, “is that a house or just an expensive dumpster with a roof attached?” |
Personally I love Denver, but Denver also means a ~2 hr radius around the city itself and there’s a lot of awesome in that circle that’s hard to find in some other large hubs.

Can you tell me what overtime/open time pay looks like at United? Is it similar to Delta’s green slip callouts (calls go down seniority order, double pay for trip coverage)? Where would a 30 year old be on the seniority list in 5,10,15 years if they were hired in the next 6 months? How quickly can you go from a new hire drop of IAH 737 to Denver? How long does a move from narrow body to wide body typically take with a new hire seat lock? Any juicy rumors on new contract QOL improvements? Anything else you think I should consider? Appreciate any info, thanks! |

Appreciate any info, thanks! I just finished Indoc and turned 32 last month. Projected to retire at 1,067 overall currently. Assuming nobody died and we stopped hiring, company-wide i'm looking at 5 years - 81%, 10 years - 61%, 15 years - 46%. I'm fortunate/unfortunate enough to live close to SFO though, so life is a bit easier seniority-wise. |
