UA HQ might leave Chicago.
When CO moved up to Chicago from TX I remember about 1/3rd of the seniority list dropped off with retirement or people just staying put. So, with the current operation that would be the loss of about 150 dispatchers.
If this move was going to happen anytime within the next couple of years, we would almost have to be hiring for that now. Between the growth and this possible move there could be a lot of job openings at UA soon.
Word on the Skreets is MarchWhen is the next posting expected to go live?
And give up all their seniority? Maybe if you have less than 5 years and are willing to start overIronically a group of us were having this conversation a few days ago, before the article even came out. If UA does move to DEN, there’s a decent handful of other major airline dispatchers I know that would want to jump ship and switch teams. If you are an active or outdoor loving person, Colorado’s quality of life is so much better year-round. 300 days of sunshine, decent weather with rarely extreme temps (hot or cold), endless activities, amazing restaurants/bars/parks and… not to mention the eye candy of the Rockies being right there. Plus from what I have read and heard from DEN commuters the property taxes are lower than in Texas, Illinois or Georgia. The state income tax is also low and the same percentage across the board no matter what your income. As I understand, the corporate tax percentage is less than half what it is in Illinois. After living all over the US I love and miss CO. Can’t speak for Chicago or Atlanta but unless you were born and raised down here in DFW, the triple digit heat for 6+ months and no decent nature within a 3 hour drive makes it not a favorite among many of us. We’d be like buh-bye Dallas, hello Denver!
Exactly this, unless you're that much of an outdoor enthusiasts and or have major ties to Colorado, I don't see dispatchers at the other majors leaving in drovesAnd give up all their seniority? Maybe if you have less than 5 years and are willing to start over
