13 July Flight Operations Hotline:
Hello, it's Hank Krakowski with a Hotline message for Friday, July 13 th . Today I wanted to fill you in on the status of our pilot hiring program. As Sean mentioned last month, United will begin hiring pilots later this year - the first time since 2001.
Next week, at 1201 a.m. Central Time on Monday, July 16 th , the application process for new pilots will go “live” on united.com. Because the new pilots will be our next generation of flight officers, we're looking for the very best.
Historically, as you know, United employees have been tremendously helpful in identifying great pilot candidates, so we are encouraging incumbent United pilots to refer those who would be good pilots and prideful representatives of the company.
The referral process is simple. You just fill out a referral form on SkyNet from one of two locations:
Please be aware that it is important that you match your referral with the job candidate. The candidate must already have submitted an application before you submit your referral. It is also critical that you reference the same email address that the candidate used to complete his or her online application.
Based on the candidate's application and flight qualifications, we will choose the top candidates to move forward in the selection process. As we said earlier, we expect to hire up to 100 pilots by the end of the year.
Also, over 175 current line pilots applied to become interview captains. From an outstanding group of 36 candidates, representing a wide cross-section of line captains, we will be selecting 12 to become full-time interview captains. I want to thank every pilot who volunteered to participate in the selection process.
We're very excited about this and look forward to having you send us the best and brightest candidates.
That's it for today. We thank you and fly safe.
Good Luck to anyone interested.:beer:

- First, you can go to “Department,” then “Flight Operations,” and then to the “Pilot Referral Form.”
- Or, alternatively, you can go to “Career Gateway,” then “Job Forms You Need,” then “Pilot Referral Form.”
