DAL To UAL
I’m a relatively new Delta pilot. I commute from Denver and I’m considering applying to United because I’m miserable commuting and don’t see myself doing it for the rest of my career, and I don’t want I leave Denver.
Can you tell me what overtime/open time pay looks like at United? Is it similar to Delta’s green slip callouts (calls go down seniority order, double pay for trip coverage)? Where would a 30 year old be on the seniority list in 5,10,15 years if they were hired in the next 6 months? How quickly can you go from a new hire drop of IAH 737 to Denver? How long does a move from narrow body to wide body typically take with a new hire seat lock? Any juicy rumors on new contract QOL improvements? Anything else you think I should consider?
Appreciate any info, thanks!

**** if I know. Desperation? Does UAL run vacancies every month, quarter (like DAL) or something else?

this a no brainer. Go to ual yesterday. There isn’t a seat lock like at delta, you can bid widebody in Denver as soon as you can hold it and not have to wait 2 years. You’ll also become a true widebody captain much sooner and for much longer at ual as opposed to delta. Just go. Don’t even think about it.

Exactly, it's going to be a while before you can hold WB FO in Den unless you become a sim instructor.
There were several unfilled 320 CA spots in the last vacancy (they've been putting out vacancy bids every 4-5 weeks).

Thanks! I’m on the 320 now, I’d be perfectly happy as a 320 FO or CA. You can’t bid for CA in your first year at UA, right?
