I highly recommend emerald coast for interview prep and FTI in Denver for the sim prep. Well worth the money. The hiring board meets wednesdays (or fridays on occasion) to go over interviews from the previous week (not including mon, tues, weds of the current week). So, good calls/bad emails usually go out weds-fri for interviews from the previous week. Good luck!

Don't laugh but a friend of a friend got called on Tuesday for an interview. That's all I got.

Airbus is certainly a possibility going forward. There were unfilled vacancies in IAH and JFK on the last LUAL equipment bid prior to SLI and I strongly suspect the same will occur with the current open bid. Reports indicate that the Airbus fleet is increasing staffing for an anticipated increase in training going forward.

The Airbus bases are currently IAD (includes DCA), JFK (inc. LGA), ORD, DEN, SFO (inc. SJC), IAH, and LAX.

As a new hire, I assume the bases will be IAD or JFK. Does any one have a guess on how long it would take to get back to ORD? WAG?

My opinion only and not official info:

Most of the new hires will be 73 iah and ewr.
Maybe a few a320 in the near future as there were some unfilled vacancies for this plane in jfk,ord,iah and iad

I think New hires going the the 756 will be few and far between for a while at
least.

How junior is SFO looking?

If you are awarded the the 737 out of your new hire class how long do you have to stay in that type? How long is the seat lock?

Especially since its open to all United pilots and not just some of them. Very telling that the 36 pilots that bid onto it in EWR, almost all of them in the top 6,000 seniority numbers.

Junior 73 fo in sfo is 11989out of 12600 or so pilots

No seat lock if going to bigger plane (i.e. 73 to 75/76)

Be prepared to go to and stay on the 73 for two years minimum. All of UALs old 757's are being put out to pasture and replaced with -900ERs and eventually Max's. Even with the 787 fleet growth, the majority of the positions will be 73 for the long term. The good news is the 73 will be at every base so it will give you some good choices on where to live.
