Aviate academy failing totally and hugely. Students quitting left and right, and why would they stay. United don't have a path anymore. They have to go to a competitor regional carrier to fulfill the requirements.

I heard Academy is less than 150 students now. This job is so hard to obtain and the rewards so far away and diminished that too few want to fly for united anymore.

Flying for uncle Sam is supposed to be a sacrifice.

Flying for the airlines is supposed to be a reward.
