You will build seniority faster if you get in. People are loosing faith in this Aviate system . People off the street are getting in almost immediately but you will keep slaving away at the uax carrier for who knows how long .They say by March of 22 but as we all know that’s no guarantee.
That's what I was leaning towards seeing the timeframe all these pilots are having to wait. I can see the frustration of waiting this long on their faces. I know getting into the program is not a CJO, but only a handful of people, maybe 6 or 7 have gotten a class date through Aviate since UAL started hiring this year. Appreciate your input friend. Definitely not as advertised.
Something else to consider is that you probably need to compare yourself to the average new hire. The average age is 40 with the commensurate time & experiences (LCA, CP, etc.). If that is you, then OTS is probably a good choice.
