I commuted to IAH for 2 years and it was horrible. Always full. I got on the airways flights because we fly for them so I'd bump a CAL/UAL guy and any XJT guys but that was my only saving grace. Many guys that still do it from phx are two legging it. I was commuting to Denver too and that one was much easier than IAH. Southwest has been great for Denver ever since they opened their base up there. UA was always full but between US and WN I always made it.

Do you know what kind of qualifications he/she had to get an interview with UA as an FO? Are they well connected or is there something else on their resume that UA liked?

Are my eyes fooling me or do I see a bunch of 900 flying out of ORD next month?

Is there more than there was last month? When I was looking through the pairings it seemed like we had about the same amount of 900 pairings this month as we did last month.

Sometimes it seems like the brand new employees know more about the (current) industry than the ones who have been here a while. The new pilots are the ones who follow the standing bid list awards closely and follow hiring news and contract negotiations at other airlines closely. The more senior pilots are the ones who get comfortable and stop caring.

I'd take any rumors, advice, information, or "news" gleaned from "someone who came to talk to our class" with some very large grains of salt. That especially pertains to domicile and PBS bidding strategies. Most of those guys mean well, but are pretty insulated from things living in SLC and working in training.

I didn't look for this month or previous I was just going off the notion that SLC did most of the 900 trips going through Chicago.
