Default Base Trades?

Anyone interested in 737 FO base trade? Looking for IAH - currently SFO based. Private message if interested. Thanks!

Well, you're new so you are doing the right thing by asking.

But just so you understand how this all works, the last equipment bid had unfilled vacancies in SFO which means everybody who wanted SFO had the chance to do so---and there were still vacancies. Unfortunately this does not help your chances.

Good luck!

I'll piggyback on this thread...

Anybody want to trade an IAH320 for my DCA320?

Thanks - new, humbled, and just trying to figure it all out and be a good FO.

Figured it wouldn't hurt to ask the question.

Post it via your flight office and see. You never know. Statistically we will miss 99% of the shots we take, and 100% that we don't

67% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Welcome to United. There are NO stupid questions. You'll never stop learning until you retire.

Welcome to the "new" United. You will be lucky to understand 30% at any one time, and most of that will have changed by the time you realize that.

Personally, I am hanging on to the trailing edge of the horizontal stab by my fingertips. Or maybe I have already slipped off and don't realize it yet.

Default wannabe

As a wannabe--I spend too much time reading the threads for a bunch of airlines, and I can say with all honesty--stuff like this is one reason I want to be at United. A new guy asks a question on several of the other airlines threads and is immediately blasted for being an idiot or worse.

A common thing I have seen on many UAL threads is "Welcome to United" and then an actual answer to the new guys question.
