You don't work at UA so it's no big deal.

Notice they just attack me rather than dispel what I’m saying. Just food for thought for any new hires getting excited at seeing captain upgrades of 3 years and people thinking they’re gonna be 15+ year WB captains. Unless you were hired before ~2021, it won’t be you.

Using the seniority calculator in CCS, anyone can figure out when they’ll be above 5000 and hold WB CA and figure out this is categorically untrue unless you’re over about 35 years old and hired in 2025.

Stop posting s4it that’s untrue, even I’m starting to think you don’t work here.

So someone hired in 2025 in their low-mid 30s won't ever hold WBCA? I knew that a lot of young people were hired but didn't realize it was that young.

This is blown way out of proportion, imo. Sure, it would have been great to beat the COVID wave, but younger people hired in 2025 and beyond should still have great careers.

Based on the numbers I’m seeing, a 30 year old hired today should finish around seniority number 750-800. Someone who’s 35 today should retire around 2700-2800. Still an absolutely fantastic career any way you slice it.

Can’t say definitively, but I would bet, yes someone hired today at 30 there is a better than average chance there are probably 5000 pilots 30 or younger already on property. CAL had a pretty young group at the SLI, and post merger new hires make up 2/3 of the 19k pilots on property now.

Anyone in their early 30’s hired in the last year, go to the seniority calculator in CCS, and run the “pilots younger and senior to you” list and tell us how many that is.
