Question regarding United in Denver

[FishandFly]

How senior is the DEN base?
If it is senior how long before a new-hire can hold it?
How long before a new-hire can hold a commutable schedule?
Are there commutable reserve lines (12 hour callout, etc)?
Thanks.

It's senior. It won't take you long to hold it as a new hire as a narrowbody F/O. Commutable lines go senior. I would imagine it would be a few years before you could hold a fully commutable schedule. Reserve lines are sort of commutable, assuming you're on long call and you don't have a long flight to your airport. I'm sure some reserve guys will chime in.

And you're not applying to Frontier because why...?

Well, since they fired that new-hire, I quess there is at least one more spot available.

Welcome to United girls and boys, be careful!!!

Newhire fired on first day......


Rumor is that "he" changed his ticket to another city pair (going back to Denver) when he was told that he was NOT allowed to do this, he did it anyway.

Pass abuse got him fired.

All 3rd hand......

There were 10 unfilled DEN 320 FO bids on the last award so I wouldn't be surprised if a few new hires get DEN right off the bat in the future. As far as holding a line is concerned, too hard to tell but if you get hired now you would effectively be a September 2001 hire and the junior line holder on the 320 this month is about a Jan 2000 hire. The junior line holder on the 300 in DEN is about an April 2000 hire.
On reserve long call is 13 hours. Short call is 4. The long calls aren't built into a reserve line. So you could be on long call one day and assigned short call the next.

You sound offended or dumbfounded as to why he wouldn't or didn't. Besides, how do you know he didn't apply to your airline?
