UAL Mins

[ERfly]

I've heard a rumor that UAL is calling people who don't have the 1000 ME PIC. Is this true?

Where did you hear this? I would imagine it is coming down the line, but haven't heard anything official. Share any info you've got!

1000 ME PIC? Hell I know half a few people hired at UAL that don't have that between all of them.

Gup

Were they hired since July 2007? If they don't have 1000 ME PIC I bet they had 1000 single seat fighter time.

I just heard the rumor from a buddy of mine and I was trying to validate it. I'd hate to submit my app and get the "You come back, 1 YEAR!" e-mail.

I'd say to keep an eye on this page: http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6722,51564,00.html

I'd take that as current. Still looking for 1000 ME PIC or 1000 SE fighter PIC.

I know, old question....but here it goes. Anyone getting called WITHOUT a four year degree?

Before anyone preaches or flames me, yes, I am enrolled in Thomas Edison State College, but still a year away.

just curious. Thanks

Guam, it's not a requirement, but the odds are heavily stacked against you without one. Apply; as long as you're actively working on it, it probably wouldn't be held against you IF you were able to get an interview.

Yes, I know someone that they have recently hired without a 4 year degree.

Andy,

Nice to hear you chime in, haven't heard from you in awhile. Do you have any good scoop on what is going on at UAL? You seem to follow stuff pretty closely.

Thanks Andy and Cheap!

No, I haven't followed United too closely for a while. I've been wrapped up in other projects outside of commercial aviation.
I'll likely return to United this spring, so I'll have better information then.

There were a couple guys in my UAL class that didn't have a four year degree, however they did have a lot of experience. Over 5000 hours turbine PIC and over 9000 hours total time. Good luck.

 

[shindler]

what is the use of a 4 years college in forestry??
Does it make u smarter????

 

[contrail67]

The 4 year degree is a weeding out tool. The more time you have, the better the chance of getting hired without one...only folks I know that have been hired without, had 9-10K total time and at least 5K pic turbine or jet pic.
