United Hiring

[DHPFLYN]

Just wondering if United is still doing alot of hiring? Also wondering if anyone in recent classes could post what aircraft and bases have been avalable? Could anyone tell me what the junior base are?

Thanks alot

I'll be back at TK in mid April (coming off of mil leave). UAL currently has a couple of classes per month; size somewhere in the teens. Aircraft are A320/737. I think that Airbus is more likely. It seems like there are a good mix of bases - LAX, SFO, DEN, ORD, DCA. If you don't get the base that you want, you can try to trade while in training or you can put in a bid for a lateral. You'd likely get a lateral very quickly.
Plans currently call for a couple of classes per month, ending with one class in June. Classes to resume after the summer.
When I talked to a scheduler, he told me that there is talk of cancelling the last two classes - end of May and June. Nothing firm.

That's very general, but accurate enough for FI.

Not even close. Unless you alpo geeneuses are counting recallees as newhires. Not that I'd put that past alpo.

The February "Flight Plan" says 200 new hires before summer. 41 already in class and 68 more have accepted offers.

300 total... not 600 for 07 and 08...

Just curious question. Is the 747 fo junior out of SFO?

I have a class date in mid-April, so I'm starting to think that I'll be stuck at the bottom for a while.
How is long-call vs. short-call reserve proportioned, and how does it work?
Thanks!

About the same as the question - How junior is SEA?

13 hour long call 4 hour short call. You can only be moved to short call 7 times in a month.

It's about the same seniority as a SFO 767 Capt.

So, ALL reserve pilots are on long call by default, but can be moved to short call 7 times a month?
Sorry to pester.

ALPO geniuses? "ALPO?" WTF Andy? You realize you're choosing to come back to an ALPA carrier, right?
