United Hiring

[Shpongled]

Currently, half of the operation is at Willis and the other half is at Arlington Heights. AH will be the new HDQ starting next year.

Thanks. That's really unfortunate.

Nothing is set in stone yet.

Thanks. That's really unfortunate.

To be fair, Arlington Heights will not be the new headquarters. It will be designated the 'main' NOC. The Corporate Support Center is remaining in Willis Tower.

Are they planning on keeping Dispatch, Scheduling, Maintenance etc at Willis or would they be moving to Arlington Heights?

They posted.

Arlington Heights will be HDQ. There will be a second NOC. IAH and DEN are the top two options. Mgmt wants the 2 NOC's on different power grids. However, if the city of Chicago made a huge financial offer, they could stay at Willis. Money talks.

Aw man... Wish they had done this about 10 years ago! I'm still astonished they moved the entire operation into the biggest terrorist target in the Great Lakes region and wholly inconveniently located for anyone not working a 9-5er. Definitely a decision made by a bean counter somewhere.

Moving back to the 'burbs is definitely a move in the right direction. Cost of living will be lower...


Wait, who am I kidding. It's Arlington Heights.

It’s a split operation - both NOCs will be operational for the foreseeable future. As stated before, a second location to presumably replace Willis Tower is under consideration. The assumption is two NOCs moving forward. Dispatch wise, nobody is being forced to Arlington Heights.

Thank you for the information

Are the UA dispatchers currently in contract negotiations? If not, when does their contract become amendable again? Just curious.

No, this year. Doesn’t mean they’ll open it up in this environment - may decide to sit on it for awhile.

It will be interesting to see if dual OCCs becomes the new thing in the industry.

Anyone had issues with the assessment? the link seems to be broken

COL for Arlington Heights can't be any worse than downtown Chitown.

Worked for me.

The top out pay is awful for the Chicago metro is all im saying. hopefully the new contract in the future compensates for the high cost of living..not as bad as JetBlue but certainly close.
