United Hiring

That type of lateral movement is unheard of at the major level, it's completely unique to them.

How many times have you heard about a DL/AA/WN dispatcher taking a pay cut and loss in seniority to go to another major?

Word on the street has it that at least two members of the new hire class at UA previously dispatched at one of the two cargo "majors." Just sayin...

Good luck to all the UA new hires!

Wouldn't that be a lateral move? Moreover, why would someone take the hit in seniority to make what amounts to a lateral move? Unless they WANT to be in or around Chicago (e.g. they have family there), why would someone make a lateral move and take a hit in pay and seniority?

Flight benefits

Perrhaps they just don’t like their current shop or the people they work with.

But if I had to bet money I’m sure they probably have ties to the area

Whatever makes you think they’re taking a pay cut to make the move?

Rumor has it... Chicago natives. UA pays more than UPS since negotiations haven't gone well. Although, cost of living makes UPS a slightly better choice IMO.

^This. What’s perceived as the best shop to one person could be the worst fit for another. At the end of the day your own happiness is worth more than any paycheck or spot on a seniority list.

You and LX have great points. In any case, having experience at a cargo major would certainly enhance one's resume'!
