I also realize that LCA and other achievements make pilots more marketable and it's not just about the hours.
Having said all that, does anyone remember what the latest posted mins were last time UAL hired pilots?
Thanks in advance for your replies
Since the LCAL side will be doing the off the street hiring well before LUAL, I'd look at the last LCAL mins:
1,500 hours fixed-wing total flight time
1,000 hours fixed-wing PIC time, or 500 hours PIC time and 500 hours SIC time in a turbojet
1,000 hours fixed-wing turbine time
1,000 hours fixed-wing multi-engine time (civilian or military) or 1,000 hours single-engine military fighter jet time
Successfull completion of the ATP written exam
A current first class FAA medical
A Bachelor's degree is highly desired

If you meet the mins, definitely apply. I wouldn't wait for 'competitive' mins; simply update your app on a regular basis. Last time, LCAL used airlineapps. com. You could get a start on filling out the app and then when the window opens, shoot your app in.
All the best to you.
