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.
I’m loving the journey so far! Thank you for your advice I appreciate it!

Right now the jr 320 FO is 700 numbers behind the most junior 737 FO, but historically speaking 737's will almost always be the answer to this question, and will likely trend that way as we're buying more 73's than airbuses.

The bus has been junior to the 737 in DEN for at least a year. At some point I expect that to change as the 737 fleet continues to grow, but if the goal is the quickest route to DEN, go 320.

From the new hires page on Facebook, all the domiciles were "unlimited"

37x 73's EWR & IAH
4x 320 EWR, SFO, IAH
6x 756 SFO

Here's the order they were picked in

Wondering if we’ll see SFO 787 FO once they give out more SFO 756 FO. On the latest vacancy there were 21x 756s and 6 were given on Aug 2nd class. 11x SFO 787 FO should be open still.

I believe 787 sims are a bit backed up so who knows

Has there been minimal 777awards to new hires lately due to a sim backlog? Seems there hasn’t been many as of late in the drop.

Probably more an issue of fewer open slots

There was some silliness with guys barely off ioe getting 777 lines in ewr. That attracts bidders
