It show mindful commitment and mentoring.
Publish all of this service type stuff on your app and resume. This may sound repetitive but I think United is looking for the “total package” not just professional skill sets. I had a similar background as you did via spirit and all that soft stuff helped crack United for me and I had zero recs. Just my 2˘
Good luck!
This is spot on. Outside of flight times for say
-Captain, (take the first one)
-LCA/instructor work(apply apply apply)
-management and or union jobs.
Fill in those addendum/appendix boxes with everything possible from volunteering to foster child. Think outside the box, awards work in and out of aviation. UAL has to read these boxes, not a computer. Do not leave jet blue. Upgrade yesterday if u can. Always trying to progress upward.
I work with some people on a union committee and these two young guys punched tickets on everything imaginable from management work at regionals to union work at regionals
