This last bid went to early 2000 for LUAL

Newbie here... Is there a way to figure out hire date by looking at employee number or something along those lines. Just been looking at the vacancy bids and trying to estimate how long some of the people on the awards have been here.

You would basically have to compare the employee number shown on the award against a seniority list to find DOH. Unfortunately the seniority list seniority numbers tend to lag behind. The best way to gauge is using your seniority in CCS as a reference.

All this of course assumes you are a UAL pilot. If not you have to rely on the truth as represented by the forums... :)

For now you can go to the ALPA website and download the SLI (red/blue) list, it has hire dates on it. Once we get into the post merger hires (2012) then it will be harder to tell.

Anyone know why our yearly list does not show DOH?

Thanks! Ya I am a half-winger about 6 months in.... I was really looking at them out of curiosity and figured it was something like this but thought I'd ask if there was an easier way. Thanks again

On CCS go to Shares, then type in JA-file number with no U. will give hire dates.

Click junior pilot report, type in employee number, will show you projected date you can hold a seat based on your DOH vs Jr man in that seat DOH.

Kudos to whoever the enterprising individual is that runs this.

It actually has his name, bottom-right.

The only thing wrong with this "predictor:" it only looks at retirement dates of the guys currently in that seat. I think it only looks at the junior man to make that determination, ie, not back-fills in that seat for other retirees.

In reality, guys will bid out of that seat for something else; generally higher-paying (except for guys at the top of the heap). That means you will likely advance earlier/faster than his "when can I hold it" gonculator.

Example: for my BES, it says I will only advance 6 spots before I retire....and I have a fair number of years remaining.

I have been tempted to write to DJ and suggest this be modified to some kind of base-stovepipe progression, where, as an example, if a 777 Capt retires, the hole created would be back-filled by the next most senior guy that was in a lesser-paying seat. To keep it less complicated, make all progressions stay in Base (which is also obviously false).

But it would give a better idea of when you could be the junior guy.

I should hold a line in Denver by 2021. That's only 24 years in. :eek:
