I was hired at UA without the TPIC. I'll give you a little rundown of my story....

University of North Dakota for flight training, 3.9 GPA, 2 flying internships but none at airlines.... flight instructor...Cape Air... SkyWest. Was at SkyWest for a little over 4 years when UA called. 4300ish hours TT, most of which was TSIC. Worked on some projects with the safety department. Lots of volunteer from college days on, including leadership roles. Numerous job fairs and both internal UA and external recommendations, as well as a chief pilot meet and greet.... Nobody knows the secret formula but this was just my story and I feel extremely blessed for the opportunities I've had. Good luck with your decision.
