Look at UA3962 MSN to ORD on May 2nd. Cx by us but then a flight was flown as UA 3205 by Expressjet - with the same exact STD. If you go to the app and search these two flights you will see what these carrier changes look like on the public facing platforms. This is what mine looked like the other day as well.
Let’s do some math. We use to have 850 pilots and 70 a/c. That’s 12 pilots per a/c. We now have about 550 and at the same ratio that is staffing for just 45 a/c. CommutAir has 300 pilots and 25 a/c and that is also 12 pilots per a/c. So assuming 12 is in the ballpark as the right number, we are only staffed for 45 a/c. If it’s 11 then we maybe have enough for 50.

The less management pays their frontline employees, the more they can reward themselves with huge pay increases and additional stock options!

Losing flying and no longer "industry leading" contract, which the TA won't be. The hiring bubbled popped here very quickly and United doesn't put up with this BS like AA did.
But we have reputation which management continues to destroy little by little every passing day.

Classes have never been completely full to the best of my knowledge with a possible few exceptions. They can handle 24 per class but typically have around 10-15. The most junior captain is around 2 years 10 months but that will drop dramatically due to a “cliff” in the seniority list. Reserve time is not increasing in ORD and MKE. Still around 3 months depending on how fast you get through training.

Actually one thing did change. There’s a new TA. Details on that should be released this week. It will hopefully include some improvements in work rules. Pay will probably increase slightly as well.
