No longer a rumor - United will hire..

[W8N4UAL]

I had hoped they would give a leg up to the folks previously in the pool. Then again, if you consider our recall acceptance percentages, I doubt it would matter to too many folks. Even more so, then, why not make the gesture in good faith to folks who, at least at one point, were jazzed to fly for United?

I guess we'll know for sure when someone from the pool tries to get an interview. Until then it's all conjecture.

This is the big time and you may only get one shot at a place like UAL.

Didn't they used to give two shots? (Seriously...I can't remember.)

Great news guys. Time to get that resume polished up, shoes shined, logbook perfect and put on the game face! This is the big time and you may only get one shot at a place like UAL. Games on!!

Don't feed the troll, and he goes away. Feed him, and he'll keep poking just to irritate and get a response.

[UAL-GSO]

ORD and DCA

 

[Mud]

Not that I'm applying (future staple a more plausible scenario) but what is a realistic time estimate for a UAL new hire to get to upgrade (based on age 60)?

Are you not in upgrade class yet? Man, that would be so sweet if you could get some turbine PIC in your logbook before UAL opens the window! Best of luck, and don't forget to give us AirTran guys a friendly hello in DEN or IAD when you make it to the big leagues!!!!!

A friend of mine at UA (been there for over a decade) said that when he got hired, the published minimums (despite the actual qualifications of their newhires) were 350 hours.

Anyone know what the new mins are at the moment?

 

[W8N4UAL]

By the end of the last hiring wave they were published at ATP mins. The number 350 may have been in one of the statements, but the ATP mins drove the total time to requirement to 1500 hrs.

Not Going Back

We have a few UAL furloughees at Atlas, and ran into two of them recently, and both said that they will not be returning to UAL, are things really that bad there?
