You already have your answer but just to emphasize a few points let me add that United is hiring pilots with no TPIC nor 121 time. We have pilots that were sim instructors for Lufthansa that were working in Arizona (and more than one) and United is working on an Ab Initiio program as well.

Piloting at the entry level is working at night, on weekends, and every holiday. If I knew then what I know now I would never have chosen aviation.

For all you young folk be sure you understand that. The job is working at night, weekends, and holidays and if you’re unlucky enough to sign on at the start of an economic downturn then you could be stuck in that position for a decade or more. Not to mention that technology is marching quickly towards a one man crew and eventually a no man crew. My cynical old man sense says if you are under 30 then don’t go into aviation.

Alright I put my flame suit on and am ready
