I’m hesitant because it seems like a good deal to get on board with before you leave university, especially if the partnered regionals were already on your preferred list and UAL was already your goal.

However, the ‘one shot’ piece of it makes it seem almost too scary to apply. Since it’s a big deal it’s suppose to feel overwhelming and uncertain, but at the same time how could a couple hundred hr Cessna pilot make that cut? They opened it up to university / professional pilot programs so I imagine the completion at that level is comparable but it’s an unknown. I have friends who made it to the Delta Propel program which is the same sort of deal with Delta and they’re all very sharp and deserving students, but the idea screwing it up and that sticking with you after 5 years and making regional CA seems worrisome.
