Here's the latest I have. I don't know if you all have this already:
1) 0001 Monday July 16th is the start of electronic pilot application acceptance. Three days later they send out the first letters for interviews
2) Application should take about 1 hour to fill out online. It's suggested you print out the instructions first and read them before you try filling out the application online. I think the website is going to be www.united.com/pilot
3) UAL pilots can send electronic recommendations on Skynet from the Flight Ops home page. The pilot applicant must have his application filled out FIRST. The recommender (is that a word?) must use the exact e-mail address used by the applying pilot. Also, an applicant can upload letters of recommendation and resumes with their application.
4) Mins are:
1500 TT fixed wing
1000 multi-engine or single seat fighter
500 hours turbine
ATP
100 hours in the past 12 months
5) Process will involve a phone interview to verify qualificaitons, a personal interview in ORD with a UAL interview Captain and a HR rep, then a final screening board (applicant not invited).
6) Extra points awarded to Son/Daughters/Interns and those with electronic pilot recommendations. If you are in the sons/daughters/intern category, make sure you check that box on the electronic application or it won't be counted.
7) Planning on 100 new hires this year and 300 next year unless Age 65. Even with Age 65, they will still need to hire "some" pilots. "Some" being undefined.
That's all I know guys. Good luck if you choose to apply here.
