Who do you think they would pick? That's what I meant in my earlier post.
Let see what happens. Good luck to all of you sir's and ma'ams trying to go. Hope they have more slots available than applicants. Everyone who served deserves this invaluable opportunity!
I think they would chose whoever had more points on their United App. (all other things being equal).
If the points for their UA App were close then I think they would chose whoever had the earlier availability date.
You are implying that there is likely a bias towards those who piloted mil aircraft, which may be true. But, keep in mind, the guy running pilot recruiting for UA is a vet, but was not a mil pilot!
