The drop/trade scenario at United really varies by base/seat/aircraft. There’s enough inherent complexity in the system that you can exploit a lot of nooks and crannies in ways a ULCC pilot cant
But 12 years to go… stay ulcc. You’re not gonna beat that captain money with 1-2 years lost.

yeah i mean the goal at the moment is 12 but theres potential for 22 if i really wanted to work till 65 ( i do not )
also I doubt a captain upgrade over here is on the cards anytime soon especially past merger..
again though back to the main point. How much hiring left does everyone think United has in em for the next say 5 years. Where would that place someone. Is there any number how much they want to hire next year?
My relative seniority also is about to get blown up with integration to keep in mind assuming merger.

The plan today as communicated to us (grain of salt) is continuing the same pace of hiring (2K+/yr) for 5 years & beyond. There are myriad factors that could affect that outlook. Retirements in the next 5 years will be roughly 2500, or around 15% of the pilot group. The factor that makes it hardest to estimate where that would place you is that as (if) the pilot group continues to grow, your relative seniority would improve beyond that 15% retiring above you.

a320
As a new hire Let's say I hypothetically bid for a320 in EWR. What kind of flying could I expect. Im sure there is a mix of 1,2,3,4, or even 5 day trips. I'm seeking more specific info: if you are EWR, would you ever see West Coast overnights, Mountain time zone or Canadian overnights? Could you be doing Hub and Spoke out of a domicile that is not EWR? or is it pretty much just in and out of EWR with multiple leg days. I Thank You kindly.

United’s public plan at present involves
1) organic growth
2) regional to mainline growth
3) a comparatively small number of retirements
Where we are in the hiring wave really depends how #1 and #2 play out over 2025-2030
The real lottery winners were the 2019-2021 hires. But 2023 still looks solidly middle of the wave, have a strong career.

Us pre-2019 hires used to say the lotto winners were determined at retirement. Any attempt to judge your timing/decision making before that date was considered premature (and potentially unlucky). Food for thought from an old-timer.
