Where are we with hiring?


The new pilot selection system is running smoothly with the
help of line pilots who are integral to the process. A vacant
area at the Denver Flight Training Center was recently reconfigured
to accommodate the pilot selection process, and the area
houses two new classrooms for our new and returning pilots.
Between March and May of this year, 104 furloughed pilots
have accepted recall to the L-UAL seniority list and we’ve
hired 134 new pilot candidates to the L-CAL seniority list.
We’ll continue interviewing through the end of June to fill
B737 and B756 classes scheduled in Houston through August.
These classes also remain available to furloughed L-UAL pilots
who volunteer for them.
Although we are likely to resume screening applicants later in
the summer, it’s difficult to predict exactly when we’ll offer
class dates to successful candidates. This may depend on how
many of our furloughed pilots accept recall after the seniority
lists are integrated. We’ll keep you updated as the picture
gets clearer and we appreciate all of the support and enthusiasm
from our pilots.
