Your quickest way to UAL is getting out of the Aviate carrier. Why would they hire you any sooner than they have to? You’re already flying their pax for penny's on the dollar. Go to F9 yesterday, and work on getting out from there. If you manage to get “stuck” at F9, making 250k+ a year is a lot better than 68k at Mesa.

Have you opted in to the Aviate flow or are you in any way involved in Aviate besides simply flying for an Aviate regional? If so, you might be forced into staying if you want to have a chance at United. Once you're in the Aviate program, if you withdraw you're essentially guaranteed to never get a job at United.
I'm not trying to scare you or anything, I just want you to be aware of that so you don't make a decision you could possibly regret later. If you're not part of Aviate, then I definitely think the above advice is worth pursuing. Last time I was at TK (the flight training center) I met a handful of former Spirit pilots and maybe four or five former Alaska pilots, so I think going to F9 would probably be a wise move.

I am opted in. After they announced aviate there’s been almost no people flowing to UA. Pretty sure united has realized the aviate carriers are so understaffed that pulling people from said carrier would only cripple their ability to fly their branded metal even more. I don’t when they’re going to start pulling people from the flow. I also don’t think if you leave the aviate flow you go on a “do not hire” list.
And I just want to be clear, I'm not advocating you stay and wait for the flow, I just want to make sure you don't end up screwing yourself if you do want to end up at United down the road. Either way, good luck!

The only reason I bring it up is because I'm an Aviate coach. We were told that flows will start going once all the qualified pilots already in Aviate are transitioned to United.

121 lines for June Boeing in LA? Staffing problem solved.
April - 132
May - 125
June - 121
Seattle lines
April - 403
May - 416
June - 381
Lotta cuts to flying, loss of revenue and profit, but don’t worry we somehow have so much leverage, they are shaking at the knees and cut flying + put half of the base on reserve.

Lets see, JL. Anyone else? Nope.So much pressure, they can't wait to get back to the NMB sessions - which by the way, THEY filed for in the first place.
