Left NK for UA few months ago... Yes, initially it seemed DTZ was huge loss in my QOL. However, after learning the reserve system, the reserve transparency and being able to aggressive pick up (proffer) trips and SC blocks, I'm home a lot more and had Thanksgiving, and will have Christmas Eve and Christmas off...
And it will get better by August 2024 when, for instance, long call goes to 18 hours...

Will be local/based at home in Feb/March and actually thinking of continuing to bid reserve... Possibly holding a line in January (I could've had a line in Dec but wanted Christmas Eve/Day off).
Been at UA since September...

Right now commuter to IAH on 737. Can't really drop reserve (same as NK) although you can move days around based on the grid. Only had to commute few days for short call conversions. Spent about 2/3 of LCR at home by evaluating the reserve availability, short call builds, open time, and then picking up the right short call conversions (all reserves start as Long Call)

And yes, they are offering 737 and 320 CA slots to qualified pilots in indoc. You still have to complete 500 hours at UA before going to upgrade training but you get paid CA pay at 350 hours.

Possibly. If I can hold it at my home base then yes. I mean 2nd year CA on 737 is $330. Even if I'm on reserve, I'm ok with that. The rules are actually going to be really good once everything is implemented by August.

LAX is the smallest, ORD the largest. There are between 50 and 250 Airbus captains per base
737 is definitely workhorse (and we have 400+ on order) but 321s are starting to come in which will grow the bus fleet (and XLR will replace 757 at some point).
