The HR departments run the legacy carriers. They demand to screen and filter. If you read the UA hiring forums you will see they are looking for well rounded individuals that have a sense of community and integrity. We have enough malcontents already, they don't want add any additional potential unscreened bad apples.

UA codeshares via the Star with many carriers such as LH, ANA, Air Canada, etc. The LH 380 and 748 carry a lot of people that bought UA tickets also. Also UA carries LH and ANA customers. We don't offer to exchange jobs with pilots from those carriers so why would we do that with UAX?

The only way UA would have a flow would be if HR can screen the pilots first.
