UAL Base info
 

Howdy,
Is there a place where I can find info about pilot bases for UAL. I'm with another airline flying the A320 currently. I've read that some aircraft types are specific to certain bases? Appreciating any insight - thanks!

We fly the Airbus out of LAX, SFO, DEN, ORD, EWR, IAH and IAD currently. We have over 200 more Airbus on order and it is highly likely the number of bases could be expanded. Most new hire classes have both 737 and Airbus slots, but some have had only one type for the whole class. We do have monthly bidding for bases, so if you get a base you don't want, you can likely bid out in a timely manner.

Good luck!

MCO & LAS 737 in 23’ and United’s gonna pump out more 320 bases?! Gotta be DL & AA’s turn for some fun base news

To answer the question, GUM, LAS, CLE, and MCO/TPA are 737 only bases. All the other bases have all narrowbody fleets, 756, and 787. ORD, DEN, and LAX are the only bases that don't have 777, also.

oh base rumors ….ord 777, phx 737, Boston 320. Send it!

Can’t forget MCO 787

Yea I don’t count that one beyond wishful thinking for people living there. My understanding is most of our pax are Americans, which if true means why would you fly through Orlando to Europe? I could be wrong but I stick to flying a to b 🤣

to the original poster:

In short all fleets all bases except
mco/cle/gum las are only 737
ORD , LAX and DEN no 777


that’s public info and can be searched :)

BOS 320…..🤣….there’s a better chance we open a 320 base on the Moon than at BOS…..

Hey hey hey, a man can dream 😂

SEA 787, make my day.

SEA is still on some of drop down menus. Like they just never bothered to remove it from when we had a base there.

I read somewhere recently that it had something to do with MIL charters or something adjacent to that. Couldn't comment on its veracity, though.

Someone’s boutta drop a SEA 350 somewhere 👀

I wouldn’t recommend basing a career move on type ratings, but you do you.

The base info has already been posted, but it’s worth noting that United has made the 73 our narrow body workhorse. 73’s has ETOPS certification and the common wisdom is 73’s will fly fewer legs per month, but also more redeyes. The airbus is replacing the regional flying so generally less glamorous layovers if that’s something you care about.

The 321’s will eventually inherit the long thin 75 routes and get bougie layovers and more efficient trips, but which base gets that flying and how junior that will go remains to be seen.
