UAL looking for Interview Captains and the latest on UAL Hiring.
Good morning. This is Sean Donohue with a Hotline on Tuesday, June 19.
I'm very pleased to announce that starting this summer, United will
begin interviewing and hiring new pilots for the first time since 2001.
This is good news - for our pilots, our customers, and for United
Airlines. These new pilots will enable us to ensure the highest level of
service for our customers, while maintaining an efficient, flexible
schedule.
We anticipate that by the end of the June we will have offered recall
to all furloughed pilots and those who plan to return to United will do
so by September, except for those on active military status or an
approved leave of absence. Driven in part by increases in international
flying - we anticipate hiring and training up to 100 new pilots in 2007.
The exact number depends on changes to the mandatory pilot retirement
age currently being considered by Congress. We expect the first new
hire pilots will head into training at DENTK in September and be out
flying the line as early as December.
To help ensure that this moves forward efficiently, we have selected a
veteran B737 captain from the line who will help administer the
application and hiring process. With feedback from ALPA, United is developing
a new online hiring process which includes an online application
screening followed by in-person interviews with line pilots. Prospective
flight officer candidates should visit United's website -
www.united.com
<
http://www.united.com/> -for further details on the hiring process.
New pilot hiring is an important step for our division and our company
- and this development underscores the growing competitive position of
United overall. We are looking for great pilots, but also for good
people who will be with United for a long time. If you know any good
candidates, I hope you will let them know and direct them to United's
website. We'll keep you posted as we move forward in this process. In the
meantime, thanks for listening and fly safe.

Today, the Company announced plans to hire new pilots in the August-September 2007 timeframe. Part of this new hire process will be the recruitment of Interview Captains. Information about these Interview Captain positions will be posted on SkyNet.
Qualifications for Interview Captains are as follows:
- You must be a current line pilot
- You must have 2,000 minimum hours as a UAL Captain
- You must have a minimum three years UAL Captain experience
- Evaluation experience is preferred, but not required.
Please note that Standards Captains, FODMs, management pilots or pilots on sick leave are not eligible to be Interview Captains.
The Interview Captain selection process will be modeled on the Line Check Airman process. Apply via SkyNet, and initial screenings will be made through your Flight Office. Finalists will interview with Human Resources and Flight Operations by mid-July.
