Was trying to get hired at ua last summer, but another airline called first and so I went. Out of the choices, the main reason I wanted ua was due to the retirements, widebodys available/future orders, and they hired less than some of the competitors did the past 5 years.Now I finally heard from ua, and trying to decide if it would still be worth it. I looked at the retiring numbers and future seniority, and unless I'm counting wrong I would estimate the seniority progression would be very similar depending on when I would start.
The difference being the larger widebody order ua has and the talks of growing the seniority list to 20k pilots. I would looking at a 30+ year career.My cons would be leaving a already great company to be at the bottom again and year of probation. There's also no guarantee the widebodys order would stay or what the future holds in terms of fleets. Really just looking to hear another perspective or if any ua pilot here can give their opinion. Thanks!
