How I got hired at UAL, the good ole days.....

You age quickly.....Is that from flying nights?

Pilotyip is the youngest looking 66 you are going to ever find in the airline business.

Such nonsence. There was an awful lot of government mandated minority hiring but don't you think this is a bit much. No chance your "friend" embellished the story huh??

Was there any truth to the rumor that, at one time, they were holding classes in remedial english for new hires?

let me fix that

She did me one the biggest favors in my life, but I did not know it. I got turned down for a job at UAL in 1996, at age 35. It would have been a dead end low paying job with a age 60 retirement. I made out much better at Zantop and USA Jet where I am still working at age 66. Thank you Nancy and your "Why did you get a "C" in difffy q in 1963?" question.

opps! She did me one the biggest favors in my life, but I did not know it. I got turned down for a job at UAL in 1996, at age 53. It would have been a dead end low paying job with a age 60 retirement. I made out much better at Zantop and USA Jet where I am still working at age 66. Thank you Nancy and your "Why did you get a "C" in difffy q in 1963?" question. BTW Never proof read your own work

As posted above they will never know. But with the give of hindsight, I know that I am pleased with their decision.
