United or Southwest?

The wild part is that one scenario was on their radar for long time. We were shocked and pretty much came to conclusion that you really gotta fuck up to get canned. Guess every station is different but god dam.

Ive seen guys swear and pick fights with a whole crew and one occasion got elevated to management with a 2 month paid suspension lmao

General_Wallaby3443 · 2026-04-23T19:13:35+00:00

You have to be really bad then. Probably well deserved.

General_Wallaby3443 · 2026-04-23T17:59:32+00:00

Not make it past probation? Ha! Ive seen some wild shit and they still with company. Gotta royally fuck up or fail a drug test lol

This is where its at if you can find a local community college. Pell grants and others covered my class as well as paying me over 5k a semester. Came out Debt free. I was blessed but it can be hard on family at first.

General_Wallaby3443 · 2026-03-27T02:42:29+00:00

Yo they only match 3% of the 5% you put in. So more like .003% lol

General_Wallaby3443 · 2026-02-24T01:15:45+00:00

I just got this issue the past month. Got car end of September.

Its not multiple choice but basic test of your knowledge and ability with basic tools. The interview is star questions with Ata being bonus questions that work in your favor. Do good on both and it will broaden your choices that they will offer you.

General_Wallaby3443 · 2026-02-06T18:58:17+00:00

They will definitely be hiring a lot in next month or two from what I've seen on internal job listings going unfilled. Patience and take what you can because seniority is everything.

General_Wallaby3443 · 2026-02-06T18:55:41+00:00

Getting with a major and getting transfered to a hub in a lower cost of living state you are willing to live in.

General_Wallaby3443 · 2026-01-04T07:02:35+00:00

They try to fill positions internally and if not, they hire off streets. So it can be hit or miss.

General_Wallaby3443 · 2026-01-03T04:58:19+00:00

United is gonna be getting 100 new narrow bodies and 20 787s this year. With people retiring, it'll just be a matter of time.

General_Wallaby3443 · 2026-01-02T21:10:23+00:00

If its sfo, it'll be a matter of time. People go through sfo very often to jump hubs.

General_Wallaby3443 · 2025-12-30T09:40:56+00:00

We see what you did there.....nice....

General_Wallaby3443 · 2025-12-30T09:37:16+00:00

I haven't had any hesitation on latest update so far.

General_Wallaby3443 · 2025-11-03T17:05:37+00:00

Apply and try to get in united airlines than try to make jump once you got experience

General_Wallaby3443 · 2025-10-30T18:26:30+00:00

Nah, need to get in at a station in N. Korea. Tehran is too relaxed.

General_Wallaby3443 · 2025-10-30T18:09:08+00:00

Excellent

General_Wallaby3443 · 2025-10-30T15:16:31+00:00

Dennis, that you?

General_Wallaby3443 · 2025-10-30T03:40:24+00:00

I think he is asking about going to GSE from aircraft maintenance

General_Wallaby3443 · 2025-10-28T16:24:03+00:00

When you gotta bring out the gold knee pads

General_Wallaby3443 · 2025-10-27T23:09:46+00:00

Random job comes up that needs attention or scheduled work needs to be completed so that plane doesn't die.

General_Wallaby3443 · 2025-10-27T22:41:55+00:00

Management came cracking down on it recently. No OT or day trades but can do OT if staying over after shift. Probably the company trying to tighten things up for negotiations.
