What is United's Newhire pilot base

[Friend]

I heard it is either Houston or Cleveland on the 737 on the CAL side

 

[Friend]

well SFO ever be a junior base for the new United

 

[ATRCA]

Right now, a new hire can probably hold the 73 in EWR, IAH, GUM. Perhaps ORD. A new hire can also hold the 756 in EWR and IAH. This may change but I see furloughed UAL guys all over the place on both fleets. The company is short and there are plenty of openings on the CAL side. I save no idea what's going on at L-UAL bases including SFO.

Latest class that started on Mon had IAH and EWR split evenly. Two people were on Mil Leave so they went to bases that they could hold with their seniority. (LAX and ORD, I believe).

Remember, right now hiring is only taking place on the Continental side. After the SLI occurs in May-Jul, then we will see a better picture of where newhires are truly needed. I can say SFO was pretty junior back in the day. High cost of living drove many people to bid away. SFO will have a lot of WBs so maybe that will change in the future. -ML

Going to the job fair today in Miami. They are doing a presentation at 1100 then a meet and greet from 1300-1700. Looking forward to hear what are the hiring plans for the future. United Airlines has always been my first choice, so really excited about the job fair. Will keep everybody posted after the event.

Does anyone know when they will bring the 737 to IAD? On a typical day more than half the narrow-bodies at C/D are 737s.

I heard EWR was the junior newhire assignment.

FFDO school recommended for the walk to the crashpad.

According to a CP, soon after the ISL is complete, but not before. So maybe fall/winter this year.

CLE? Anyone know how junior it really is?

Maybe someone can post a list of latest base vacancies if possible?

CLE's a small base. There were a couple of 737FO vacancies on the last bid that went fairly junior. However, the odds of a newhire getting CLE are very slim due to the small size of the base.
You could probably pick up CLE on a vacancy bid very quickly, but will remain on reserve for a very long time.

How many are getting Guam?

Last system bid, most junior FO in base's position on seniority list, in order.

DEN 4732
LAX 4839
CLE 4870
ORD 4877
EWR 4926
IAH 4929
GUM 4930

EWR, IAH, GUM are a toss up for most junior--and where new hires will likely go if the next one is similar to this.

DEN way senior.

Thanks for the info! Any idea on openings at these bases? When does the next bid come out?

 

[Friend]

is there any chances of a new hire getting LAX with any equipment

Hey guys, worry about being hired before figuring out where you may possibly go. LOL
