Last fall, the rumor was they were hiring somewhere between 80 and 100% of those that interviewed in a given weeks. Of course, mileage may vary. No clue on numbers... I heard two weeks in June and then more in September. I think they were interviewing 20-30/week in the fall... Don't quote me on that.

MPA, you have a lot of beers coming your way. It might be time to invest in a storage unit.

When I did my M&G a few months ago, after interviewing had slowed down/stopped, it was 71%.

Any idea if that number includes those who have been assigned May class dates, but not started class? Or have they been removed from that pool number?

However, unfilled vacancies are required to fund new hire positions for pilots and they do expire over time per the UPA.Today’s vacancy will resupply our unfilled vacancy volumes and allow United to hire new pilots. That said, all pilots are free to bid these positions as they would any other vacancy.

I wonder where everyone's gravitating to? It's obviously not to the former LCAL "Liberty International."

Take the EWR Guppy bid. Wait for the training meltdown. Enjoy the bump.

I think he's implying that anyone vacancy bidding into EWR on the 73 will see a pretty significant bump up in regards to base seniority. For instance, an FO who is 75% at IAH or 90% at DEN might be 40% at EWR.
