Default Best Regional to get to United Airlines

Ok so in my opinion. United Airlines has more to offer and better pay than another major airline.
I know there are no flows to United but I can apply from a regional.

Which regional is the best to get to United?
Is ATP Flight Academy a good school to go to so I can start at that regional to get to United? If not which school?
What's the application/interview process like to United?

Thank you for helping me.

Honestly, whichever one gets you to 1500 hours the fastest.

ATP Academy is fast I hear.

What regional do you recommend?
ExpressJet? CommutAir? Republic Airways? Skywest?
How do you/did you choose?

That is incorrect I think. Need 1500 hours to start at regionals too.

I believe united has a preferential interview deal set up with one or two regionals out there. I think republic is one of them. Not sure what the other is.

Good luck.

Not everyone at United came from the military. Some came from regional or charter airlines and some of us came from the Air Force.

Only Commutair and Expressjet have the United CPP program which is basically the full interview + a hypothetical class date when you reach a certain amount of hours and meet their requirements.
