Alright makes sense...Im assuming that's an outcome from the last vacancy. So as Widebody slots are less likely to be around...can we assume that seniority accrual on the NBs in the Right Seat (in say EWR and SFO) will be [(faster), (as fast), (not as fast)] as last year?

Bigger issues would be 1) overall hire volume 2) degree to which new contract allows captain growth outside IAH

How long is it currently to hold MCO as a FO? It seems you won't get it out of training, but how junior is the lowest guy right now?
Also, how is seniority assigned in class?

Thank you! I figured out the seniority after asking but couldn't delete the question; I'll use that tool next time. I appreciate the info!

Sometimes there is, sometimes there isn’t. A few classes ago offered the 787 along with 756. It’s in constant flux and always will be.
You’re still learning to fly if I remember correctly from your previous posts (if I’m mistaken, I apologize). I know it’s fun to watch and keep track of class drops, but you are a looong way off from getting hired at United. Anything that is happening now is zero indication of what it will be for you if and when you get hired. No sense in stressing out or being either excited or disappointed over current new hire offerings.
The best advice I can give someone who’s still training is to concentrate on the moment and enjoy the journey. It’s a lot of fun if you allow it to be.
