I highly doubt that it is solely the Hogan that is holding them back. The aviation industry is wide. If they really want to get out of the regional game and are professional pilots, there are plenty of jobs. If they won't settle for anything else other than a legacy, then apply to Delta. At least the personality test is just one part of the interview. If that doesn't work out, look at the cargo ar ACMI world. There are even 135 and 91 companies who would be happy to have a professional 121 pilot with a good attitude.
Like most industries, ours is messed up and not 100% fair. But one cannot solely blame their failing career on the Hogan. There are many options available, but it might require one to give up on the specific dream for flying for United.
