Also according to this thread junior 756CA at UA is 5 years. Or off probation depending on who you talk to.

Junior B756 CA @ 5 years?

So you’re misinformed twice over.

Save your breath…arguing with the chronically fatigued is pointless. They hear too many voice in their head to make any sense!

I would never leave delta for this dumpster fire known as UAL. This place is a complete joke. Doubt we will bet a contract before recession fears catch up. You'll have much better quality of life and money at Delta. If I were at united less then 4 years I'd bail elsewhere.

Doesn't mean anything if it pays less then Delta, Alaska, JB, spirit , allegiant, etc .

And work rules suck. Enjoy your seniority which gets you nothing at united. Unable due to overall system constraints is what it gets you.

This above, in particular, is why a move to Southwest might be a better idea. With interstate commerce threatened by Tucker Carlson fanatics it would be good to work for the Republic of Texas’s Air Force. Job security and all that.
