UAL hired about 1000 people in 1995. About 100 were interns.
UAL hired about 1000 people in 1997, and I think there were only about 5-10 interns hired.
I was told that UAL regretted picking up some of these kids with low time. Many actually had a really bad attitude and were just too lacking in experience compared to their counterparts.
There is no reason we should interview anyone with less than 4,000 hours (until we run out of applicants during the "pilot shortage").
