Slats, thanks for the info. I'm a poolie anticipating a class date next May/June due to military separation. Any chance you could post an updated snapshot of your previous post?

Also wondering what people think about where seniority will end up for the 737 SFO base in the next year, or two. Finally, if ORD is my goal would the A320 or 737 be a better choice, assuming I have the option to choose?

Thanks.

Norske, go to the 737, it's an expanding fleet.

Yes it is. Most of the Airbus FOs won't be bidding into the seat for the improved seniority (although some have already) because they can hold Captain on the guppy, so it looks like mostly new hires, and good movement.

Thanks for the info!

You got it brother!

The company is going through IT changes so it has been a few weeks since I could grab one of these.

Hey Pilot/Staller/Caroldanger, whoever you are!? You sound like a broken record!! No matter what the post is (the topic could be about butterflies in Central America!) and you would make it a point to say at least the A320 FO's would be senior to butterflies on the 737!!:eek: We get it!! Sorry to burst your bubble, NO ONE CARES!! Particularly new hires! Try to be a LITTLE positive on here, or you may get kicked off AGAIN!!:o

12515 already in EWR 756 FO? A 76T new hire that moved over pretty quickly via BAT?

Slats et al,
Kind of quiet here lately, so thought I'd stir the pot a bit. Has this changed much since the mid-December update? Could someone re-post?

Also, I have been searching threads for info and fully understand that "DEN and new hire" are not used in the same sentence, but if that is a goal for one's family, what would be the wisest course of action to obtain it based on current projections? Perhaps more relevant, how long to be domiciled there and which a/c is best (assume 737 based on page 54 in Poolie thread)? How are other new hires living in CO doing this (bid to IAH, SFO, ORD rather than EWR as soon as able) and how many days home?

If living in DEN means commuting for 2-3 years, how long to get to DCA instead and on which a/c?
Would be very grateful for info, starting soon and trying to figure out where to land the family while avoiding multiple moves with school-age kids.

For DCA, the A320 and the 76T went pretty junior on last bid
(DCA 76T fo is seniority 12415 and a320 is 12548) junior guy overall is around 12600ish

Since new hires are going to ewr a320 and ewr 76t, you should be able to do a base transfert to dca pretty quickly.

Welcome aboard!

What is the 76t ? Thx.. I was going to start a new thread. No need to waste more someplace. Just out curiosity is the APC UAL pay scales updated with the new 8.5% raise as of this past Jan 1st? Thanks and apologize for the thread drift..
