Demand high for UAL pilot positions

[buckeyes95]

instructordude and gojet, a perfect match

People getting on with UAL now will probably have thousand of pilots below them when they merge with CAL. Just like AMR and TWA.

Are you THAT dense?

You DO realize that most of the TWA furloughees are still on the street, right?

Just like AMR and TWA... can't believe you actually said that. For the love of God, get your tubes tied before you have kids.

So, I agree that it would be like a winning lottery ticket. And I have already applied.

Yeah, I'm sure your resume went straight to the "not-highly-qualified" pile.

That'll change when you go to the next WIA conference if the past precedents are repeated in their hiring practices.

Hope you enjoy your 2 years on reserve and 15 year upgrade. Have you looked at the projected hiring and retirement numbers at UAL?

Can't read any of Instructor Dude's post unless you quote him, he's on my ignore list. Don't feed the trolls, they'll go away. At least he's only messing with people, I think P-pilot is serious.

You don't really hear the American pilots complaining, just like I doubt you will hear the United pilots complaining when they buy CAL and staple the CAL pilots to the bottom of the UAL list.

I am pretty sure United has a much stronger union than CAL, so they will get what they want when they merge.

Right. Prater won't mind being stapled. Good god, read something!

Pocono Pilot,

Please educate yourself or be quiet!! You only further the myth that female pilots are inferior every time you type. I know I cringe every time I read your posts and I'm sure the other women on here do too. Do us all a favor and do some research before you get anywhere near the keyboard!!

Thanks. Back to lurking...

Do you have to work at it to be that stupid, or does it just come naturally to you?

Hi!

PP: Here is what would actually happened if UAL/CAL got together:

They are both ALPA, so the national ALPA would see to it that the integration list was "fair", which means most guys would be pissed off. No one would get stapled.

IF CAL was non-ALPA, and IF UAL bought them out, then it's theoretically possible that the CAL guys would be stapled. BUT, that won't happen, as UAL has no where near enough money to buy CAL, and they're both ALPA

What is less unlikely to result in an adverse situation for the UAL/CAL crews is that UAL goes Chapter 7, and then CAL buys all or part of their assets, leaving the UAL pilots out on the street.

PP: I hope you get the job at UAL and that it goes great for you!

Sorry to disappoint you. Been to SYD 100 times on UAL. It's the best.

Do you guys stay close to Bondi Beach or Kings Cross:nuts: ? How long are the Sydney layovers??

I've ridden on you guys down to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, both on a -400 and the old SP. Great service!

 

[AdlerDriver]

Not well.

:laugh: Now that made me laugh. You a funny guy Gogs.

DAL newbie??? You bailed on World?

 

[ualdriver]

An airline does not necessarily need the money in its bank account to acquire another. All Glenn has to do is make one trip to Manhattan, have a couple of meetings, shakes a few hands, and he can have all the money he needs to make a reasonable acquisition. Same could be said for CAL's CEO as well. Or AMR's. Or the CEO of insert "big" airline here.

Gosh Poco, I hope your right, I can't wait to laugh my a$$ off at all the UAL people on this board when you come back in here and tell us you got the job, and are heading to DEN... LOL !

I'm sure your just their type... Oh man this is great!!!

And again I hope your right, I hope UAL bumps my butt back to 20 yr F/O and I yank gear for you. Because I'd love to see you fly that thing by yourself.

Keep us updated, we're all hoping for the best.

I am excited to see that there are plenty of pilots willing to hop on board and work under the managerial genius of Glen Tilton! You are some real lucky fellows!

Just remember every month when you are flying to FAR max and off 10 days, that your sacrifice goes to a worthy cause - executive bonuses. Without your crappy pay and work rules, UAL would not be able to retain top shelf talent like Glen Tilton.

I have to say, I am really impressed by the attitudes of two prospective United pilots on this board. That would be Instructordude and Pocono Pilot. I will be sure to call Glen tomorrow and put in a good word for both of you. You will both fit right in! Especially Pocono Pilot - Diversity!

Good luck!

Nobody at UAL flys FAR max hours nor do they only have 10 days off. Frank (ha ha), you need to get your stuff straight. You are correct about the executive bonuses, however.

So Pocono, what exactly is it about United's contract and career advancement that makes them so much better than CAL? Not to worry though, I'm sure you'll "turn them down" like you "turned down" CAL. I'm sure the United pilots on this board are thrilled that instructortard and yourself are so into them. Really.

I dunno, it seems to come pretty naturally to her, and she just gets dumber with each post. Then again, I wonder if she's really just that stupid or if she merely types such nonsense to get a rise out of us.

Which is it Pocono, are you incredibly stupid or just getting off by flame baiting the rest of us?

 

[Lear70]

I honestly think it started as the former and now that no one has any respect for her it's turned to the latter...

Just watching her posts go from genuine to sheer ignorance over the last several months...

you must mean Delta.. oh, wait, I forgot, you're the resident forum bottom dweller.

 

[HA25]

I think United meant the "best of the rest".

So true! DAL, no.. CAL, no.. NWA, no... Allegiant, no... FAR 135, no.. Ok, fine, I'll take UAL.

 

[igneousy2]

No....I don't agree....they are NOT all the same.

Yeah, you're right they aren't the same now that I think about it. You get reemed on your cell phone bill if you call anyone at home from Sydney.

Work is work - it's not true for everyone - but in the long run, I think most people are usually happiest with the maximum amount of money for the maximum amount of time off (commuting counts as work).

call me crazy.

UAL hiring? Let the affirmative action begin!

 

[Captain X]

How can you say that many applicants aren't qualified when they're shaking their butts and batting their eyes?

Pocono Pilot applied at UAL?

Oh yeah, she said she did. Figures...

I wonder if she knows the starting pay is basically the same at UAL as it is at the airline she's known for "turning down" and then lower at UAL on the most likely aircraft she'd be staffed in years 2 and beyond if those really are brains?

 

[Tejas-Jet]

Huh? What does that mean?

From last week's drawing.

 

[ferlo]

I think United meant the "best of the rest".

I think they mean anybody who has ever seen an airplane and can maintain a rectal temp of over 88 degrees.

 

[Pocono Pilot]

Hmm, CAL or United Airlines.

Tough one.

United is like 10 times the size of CAL.

And yes, size does matter! LOL

United is what?

8300 vs 4900 pilots isn't 10x, last I checked. And if size was king, then AMR would rule that roost.
