It’s very much a possibility. Under the AIP you could bid for immediately as a new hire. Once you get 350 hours on type you’d be sent back to TK to do the entire long course again, then 100 hours of IOE. You need the 1000 hours of FAR qualifying time to actually fly as a captain but that should be obvious. The process from DOH to captain line check could in theory be 9-10 months.

Narrowbody FO's: Make sure to honor United tradition and buy your CA's dinner / drinks if they're a half-winger.

I love how you were on Delta’s no fly list and ended up at United. That is awesome LMAO. When you’re off probation you got to give us the story on what happened.

I was a NH there in 2000 on the 75/76. I think I have about 400 hours in type. I was furloughed and never came back . Would that be an option or is the 75/76 still semi senior for capt awards ? Someone asked why one would do subject themselves to years of reserve? I have about 6 years left so that’s why.

I still see furlough the occasional furlough returnee coming back--did you give up your seniority number already?
