Not true. United has a history of lawsuits against the HR department and no one involved in hiring would every say this. If someone did say that then they are removed from the process and it is as good as rumor. Their average new hire is right around 5500 TT but that is skewed because of military, well connected, and interns. The average regional guy with no special boxes checked is well above 9000 tt with multiple types and generally has maxed out the points from letters of rec. Most of the people I interviewed with had 10,000+ hours. How many letters does it take to max out the points? The people that know are not talking.
