A nice certificate no proving runs etc
Watch it happening
There's no way in hell that could possibly happen. If UAL did buy the planes they'd have no problem getting a program up and running pretty quickly. They've kinda been flying jets for a while and maybe have an idea of what they're doing. The pilots would have to interview and get hired just like everyone else.
