Publish it right now, as is.

I understand that app longevity, as well as regular updates adds 'points'.

Every time they go to airline apps to get a bunch of applicants to interview your app is either selected or left in the pool. And it can't be selected if its not in the pool.

I'm under the impression that United has slowed things down significantly for the summer, as I've had contact from other carriers, but nothing from them.

I added a traffic ticket the day before my interview after my app was in for 2 years. Totally forgot about the ticket until my wife reminded me. Still got the job, no questions asked. Make sure your app is good, but its understandable that you make changes.

Yes and no.

Expect things pick up rapidly as UAL needs to hire, and train, an additional 700 prior to the start of the summer 2017 schedule.

Default Speeding Tickets

I've had two speeding tickets in my driving career, both well over 10 years ago and in different states than I live in now (California and North Carolina). Any idea how I'd even go about tracking them down and figuring out when they were?

Approximate...month and year is sufficient.

Let's ask Uncle Sammy what he'd tell 'em in the interview....

How many letters of recommendation do you have listed? Internal/external? No doubt you have the credentials, hours, education, and background.

I haven't done the ATP practical (waiting for my scheduled date a month from now) but meet all other requirements. Should I go ahead and submit the app now?
