like other have said, it’s a crap shoot., try not to put too much thought into it because you won’t have much say being the age you are. United gives the older guys better seniority for new hires, for better or worse.

Nbca changes will slowly happen over a year depending on details on paper and real life and airframe deliveries.
Next system bid will probably be within a month to staff winter training for summer ‘24 flying

Unlikely the drops change significantly. They’re mostly nb fo and will stay that way. If commuting/reserve gets better, expect the wbfo spots to migrate back senior.

What barriers do you see for someone interested in joining UAL today? Articles I see don’t indicate any slow down due to known economic performance in the near term. I’d be bidding mid-pack due to my age and more interested in QOL and seniority than big WB money right away.

There seems to be a trend of Guppy bashing amongst people that have exactly 0 time flying the Guppy. No it’s not a sexy airplane, yes it can get backed into performance corners more often than one would like, no there isn’t a lot of room for your stuff, yes you have to actually move switches, you have to think and be a pilot a little bit, and yes you have to contend with the damn trim wheel. With all that said it’s not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be, it does the best flying if you’re looking for variety, and you have the most options of where to be based. When you’ve got a few thousand hours on it and want to ***** have at it. You’ve earned it then.
