If the only airlines that are hiring are the ones that just hired 10,000 then you go where the money is. At least that’s what in my cards.

I am local to Louisville and was hoping the UPS interview tap would get turned on in the near term but prospects dropped after the accident and are not looking good to go up in the near term. I have a job offer with UAL so guess it’s the bird in the hand for me.

We’ve been interviewing as far as I know. How long until we bring new hires on property is a different question. I don’t think many knew management were going to pull the MD retirement rabbit out the hat. I’d never flat out tell someone not to come here but United is a good shop. Take that bird in the bush! They’ve made a lot of good changes over the past few years. Sounds like you haven’t gotten a call to interview and that sucks especially if you’re local.

If it helps you might’ve dodged a bullet. Our leadership can’t even get the 2976 crew names right, unless Rich went by Rex.

First Round of MD Displacements Is Out
 

Hey brother, take the UAL job and don't look back. Even local to SDF this place is not worth it. It would suck if you took the job here and then realized it is as bad as you read then just lost seniority at a major. Best to you.

Personally I would take sdf based UPS over commuting to UAL from sdf. I’m not quite as negative as some on this forum and I like turns that let me see my family everyday.

That being said, definitely take the UAL spot and if UPS starts hiring soon you can make a decision. Or just move to a UAL base.

Agree. Living in base is a major factor.

Yes, But we are talking SDF. SDF is the last place I would want to live the next 25 years. UAL also has the best fleet hands down. New 777’s and 787’s or 30 year old loud 757? Not even close, easy call.

SDF isn't that bad, the job becomes way easier living here. Also cheaper than any UAL domicile.

Ill trade you 4 of my 6 years at UPS to go to UAL :D.
Seriously, go to United. Or do A LOT of homework about who you will be working for....

Dude lives in SDF.

Fleet composition is a low weight factor IMHO.

I’m tied to living near SDF for the next 5 years so that my kids can graduate. I love the area but if moving makes my life simpler I’m not opposed to it then.

A commute to Chicago isn’t ideal but doesn’t sound too bad. I’m just trying to maximize quality of life. It’s time to give back to the family for this second carer. I’ll fly whatever/wherever can do that.
