still 50-60 per week. You haven’t missed the boat. If you don’t get it in indoc, you could get ord on the first vacancy, likely.

Quick question on base seniority, as you don't see DCA on any of the class drops. How quickly can you end up in DCA, and on which aircraft is that (I'm assuming the 737)? I live 15 minutes from IAD, so any information is appreciated! I know it's summer, so data can be different this time of year. Thanks!

First Vacancy for the NB, maybe 1st or 2nd for the 756, 787 you might be able to slide into it within a year, 777 forget about it for the first year.

I appreciate the information! Not concerned about what I fly, just a short drive to work is my goal. Again, thanks!

Does anyone know if initial trainees have jumpseat privileges, or just standby travel privileges? Tracking that United flies you positive space to and from training, just curious about additional training in between phases. Thanks.

you’re entered into cass right away. It may take a few days, but you have the same jumpseat privileges as anyone else.

You can nonrev on company metal, you're in CASS and you can jump seat with other airlines, but zed fares and extended family travel benefits don't kick in till 6 months.

Awesome thanks

For someone at 44 with no wb aspirations how quickly do you think one could hold captain ?
As well does anyone know if this hiring us for attrition or just growth. I thought I knew the answer before but now not so sure

You can hold NB captain in a year…. but that’s reserve. It’ll be maybe 7 years to a line, 15 for something less than max credit (around min days off). Those are just estimates, though. The year is pretty concrete at the moment and is a contractual limit.
