Here's next year's pay scales. Any chance this could be uploaded to the United airline page?

 

Hiring manager just said its now 2,500 for 2026 plus we are hiring 200+ per month starting in September (we've already hired 145 this month). Boeing is ahead of delivery schedule and so United converted 48 MAX 10s to 9s and we get them all in 2026. Plus a bunch of A-321 NEO delivery slots opened up from LCCs that's deferred their slots to after 2030 so we swapped our 2030 delivery slots for those and now we are getting those planes.

The recruiters are probably still using July forecasted numbers but these were all revised. Hiring limit is a little over 200 a month, so its going to be 2,500 for 2026 plus the 800 September to December. As of today they are giving out early November class dates and maybe still some October ones.

I'm betting 2027 is also 2,500 hires because we get the same number of NB planes in 2027 as we do in 2026 but 787 deliveries are supposed to go up to 3 a month.

Good luck to everyone.

 

9/18 interview, CJO today. Best of luck to everyone. Excited for the future!

 

Congratulations! Welcome aboard ✈️

 

congrats! Did they give you a class date yet? Curious what the timeline is looking like

 

Looks like around 2 months CJO to class on the half winger page on Facebook

 

Awesome. Yeah they were saying 2027 was being made to sound like yet another big year.

 

Hello..does anyone have or know where to find which planes go into which bases?

Also wondering what a line holder schefule looks like. Can you drop and trade trips. Is there a mimimum credit hour you must fly? Thanks

 

this is a common question and the search feature is your friend. Well, the results of a search will be your friend. The search feature is a frenemy at best.

the 737 is in every base

the 320 is in every hub

NBFO lines are all over the place. People generally find it better than the regionals, but there’s not any generalization beyond that.

You can drop and trade. You can theoretically drop to zero, it requires luck and skill. It is not something commonly available to new hires.

 

You likely already know but what Vacancy means is that the 737 in addition to every hub is also in the satellite domeciles such as Orlando, Cleveland, and Vegas… these are not United hubs. 737 also is the exclusive equipment of Guam. Where as a320 is only in the mainland United hub cities.

While the introduction of the 321 is changing things a little (and will do so in higher volume going forward)

*****Using stereotypes and broad generalizations **********
generally speaking the Airbus flying is sort of the more legs per day, less flight time, daytime flying, smaller cities overnights…….737 has less legs per day, longer flight times, at least more red eyes than the 320, and overnights that are more Instagram worthy.
