UAL hiring soon?

[HA25]

FMS - I totally agree with you. The pay isn't what it used to be, and new start-ups/LCCs, JB included, lower the bar when they start up, and all new start-ups do have an unfair advantage on labor and maint. costs. We could debate to death what to do about em. Anyway, we've worked very hard at getting the pay up at JB, and will continue to do so... I would love to be working at one of the majors, but there weren't any jobs 5 years ago when I needed one, so I've been with JB since. Most of those mid 30 college kids making 6 figures though I would guess are probably working pretty long hours to earn that pay though. I still take this job over working for a living any day...

Take care

That is a refreshing answer.. I too would love to be working for a major, and it frustrates me that my company doesn't pay well (albeit in my case, they really can't afford it for real). As long as we all try to do like you, with raising the pay and QOL at the airline we are currently employed with, there can only be a net positive benefit to everyone.

I appreciate your honest and non-defensive response though.

Unfortunately, contrail, from what I am hearing it sounds like the poolies are going to have to re-interview. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure. Sorry. If I hear anything different, I'll let you know.

Could I ask who you talked to? I am in the same boat, 2000 hired but in the pool and am trying to find out any info I can. If anybody has Roger Vesely email or whoever is in charge of the new hire program could you please pm me. It is always good to have choices in life.

Unless I missed something recent from the company, I don't think anyone knows as they're still trying to get their hands around this whole new hire training/hiring thing.

What's the story with having family members who flew for UAL? Does that still help with getting an interview?

There used to be a "Sons and Daughters" type program. I don't think we'll know for sure if that type of program still exists until the HR people figure out their new hire program.

And how about former Flight Ops Interns? Do you think we will still get our own "bucket"?

If you were an intern, I would assume so. That's the whole point of the internship program from my understanding.
