Um...who said he had interviews with UAL and DAL? All I see is he got a job offer from a regional with a flow.

That's what pilots do, take the path that you think at that time gives you the best chance.

I also know someone who got hired at UAL with atleast 4 busts, 1 in the 121 world. It's definitely possible to get hired at a major with that on your record people make mistakes all the time. That being said, 5 years is a pretty short time to get to a legacy. It's great insurance if somebody else doesn't pick you up worst case scenario.

That was assuming 85 hours a month with the sign on bonus, retention bonus, and per diem. I guess they are adding either 3-10k as a sign on bonus. I think they vote on that tomorrow but yeah looking back at the math before that it is probably like 45-50k.
