Anybody know if United will lower the m.e. pic requirement? I've heard they aren't getting enough applicants. Just heard rumor while jumpseating.

Lower to what minimums? What have you heard?

I know they have MANY apps on file so it flies in the face of the rumor you heard. Maybe they were just trying to encourage you - who knows?

I would check United's website often and if there is a change there then there ya go!! Good Luck.......

I know that everyone in my UAL class of 20 new hires had over 2000 hrs PIC turbine/jet. Good luck to you though, you never know.

they hired you, so they must be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

seriously, have you any idea how arrogant you sound?

I second that jke406...Shrek, it was a simple question. Don't try to sound all high and mighty since you were lucky enough to slip through the cracks and finally get hired.
Remember your days at TSA, the days where you were just looking for a little information in hopes to move on from that hell hole. Sounds like a similar situation with a man in hope. Leave the arrogance at home.

The HR lady on the phone interview said they had 2400+ qualified applicants on file. I have an interview and I have over 2000 turb PIC also. Good luck.

This is the second post on this topic in just a few days. Maybe there is some truth to this rumor. No one can confirm it so its not official yet, but I don't think anyone would be surprised. We'll see soon enough I suppose.

Thanks for the replies!

From a "practical" standpoint, I would find it VERY unlikely there would be a shortage of applicants with 1000 hrs PIC ME. Unless I'm missing something, that box does not take all that long to fill, unless of course you've been a full-time CFI in bug-smashers and went directly to the regionals and haven't upgraded yet.....

Maybe they are going back to the NS days of hiring. You know, when they only hired 1 out of 10-15 fifteen candidates that interviewed.

So in other words, if they need 200 pilots on property, they need at least 2000-3000 qualified applicants.

Relax everybody, it's a freaking joke.

Diversity quota's aside, sometimes HR is about their own existence.

...think about it....

Diversity quota's aside,

OK...we keep hearing this about UAL's hiring. But my question is...IF this is true ( and note I said "if"), then what needs to be asked is....why only United?

Why not Delta? ...or, why not AA...or, why not Alaska...or, why not Jet Blue...or, why not Air Tran...or why not SWA...or, why not CAL...or, why not Aloha...you get my drift?

For years I've heard the "quota" stuff...but only UAL...why? Especially, in a "monkey see-monkey do" indsustry.

How EXACTLY did I slip through the cracks?! Do you know my history BEFORE TSA Mr. Matthews? If not then keep your piehole SHUT.

It took me 18 years to get to United and it was EARNT not GIVEN.

If you even know me then you know that I wouldn't come across as high and mighty. Ask anybody that I still know there at TSA and you will get a different opinion I am sure. BY ALL MEANS SEND ME A PM and we can talk about it on the phone.
