You interviewed from the last round and they didn’t give you a yes or no?

The one before.

The one before.

Gotcha. Interesting, I remember the panel distinctly saying that they would let you know either way. Maybe they are keeping you in a pool?

Why is United hiring so many dispatchers? Are people leaving for another major or retiring? Is United increasing their fleet?

For when they announce the move to Denver.

Looks like it is.

It's basically correct, although to clarify the 5-2-5-5 schedule, one day of the 5 day block off is actually a non dispatch desk work day, counts toward your 1880 hours, that you have to either fill with a requirement (things like Recurrent, annual line check, annual jump seat observation and a few others), or cover with a PTO. You get 10 PTO's annually, with the chance to earn additional ones by working on holidays. If you run out of ways to cover, you're working on that day.

Additionally, as bid relief don't expect to have a 5-2-5-5 schedule.

So it’s actually 5-2-6-4?

It's actually 5-2-5-2-1-2...but you can move the 1 around to any other day you have off.

So unless you move that 1 day around or use one of your gifted PTOs you never have more than 2 days off at a time? And they always plop that 1 extra right in the middle of your block of 5 off unless you move it yourself?

These can be moved manually after vacation is awarded prior to the calendar year. Can be fully covered with additional PTOs by working holidays or a MID line. In negotiations to (hopefully) make them a thing of the past.
