Wait, so your telling me that the Captain doing the interview will see that a qualified applicant isn't with ALPA so they won't be offered the job? That sounds ludicrous! Now if ALPA was doing the interview then this would make sense. I find it extremely hard to believe that someone as smart as United would turn away a great pilot just because he isn't ALPA. I can't even imagine a captain doing the interview to be bias toward ALPA applicants. ALPA would be bias and turn away a qualified applicant all day long but United is much smarter than this. My point is, United Captains do the hiring and not United ALPA guys.
