no, he has a good point. Some people tolerate commuting better than others. I’m DAL and commute now but considering moving to Colorado and continuing to commute. Choice is individual. You don’t get to tell someone else their life isn’t right because they don’t see it the same way you do.

Guess we gotta shut the forums down now.

Not sure if you could get Denver in one or two vacancies but definitely within a year. 320 FO is more junior to 737 FO right now. Current vacancy didn't have any Denver 320 or 737 FO openings. I'm guessing they will have more of those in vacancies this fall and winter but that is just a guess.

Anecdotal example, I'm a late-February '23 hire. Initially 737 to IAH and was awarded DEN in the last Vacancy. Was hoping to activate for the month of Aug but looking more like Sept so about 6 months on the dot (provided the activation doesn't get delayed).

They may never post Denver vacancies but that doesn't mean they aren't available.

NB FO's in Denver upgrade or move bases or switch fleets on a vacancy, their slots become available.

Case in point, today's Snapshot has 7 x DEN 737 FO Awards.

Yup, 756 ORD hasn’t been on a vacancy in three years but more than half the list has changed through backfill 🫠

Thanks to everyone for the information. I'll be submitting an application soon and hopefully joining your ranks within the next couple months. For my own curiosity, does anyone know where on the seniority list a 29 and/or a young 30 year old would be retiring at if they were hired today? I can't find any metrics online that don't require a UA employee number. Top 500? 1,000? Sub 2,000?
