To my understanding they do this because, during the days of airlineapps, they would have people put in stellar qualifications just to trigger an app pull and then after taking the hogan and getting an interview they would re-enter their real qualifications. Less intelligent applicants did this not realizing that UAL can see all the changes they’ve made to their app (or, at least they were hoping they didn’t get caught). So, applicants would apparently get a little sweaty in the interview when they were asked how they were a chief pilot, check airman, military test pilot with a Ph.D, three space shuttle landings and 8000 hours of multi-turbine PIC at the time of initial application, but now come interview time, their app indicated that they were a college dropout with an online associates degree and only 2500TT with 50 turbine PIC in a caravan.
