I mean it's not like applicants won't know the rules before hitting submit on the application. You might have a point if the current pilots weren't protected. My question/thoughts are not analogous to , "If you don't like it quit, SW, AA and DAL are hiring"
Quitting is forfeiting seniority. Re-prioritizing your "dream job" prior to be hiring is assessing current conditions. To me, they are different.
That’s a nice thought in a vacuum. The reality is people are going to apply to United and, particularly in this market, I guarantee that not everyone who is hired will be ready after 350 hours.
You can put the onus on the applicant, and you’re not completely wrong. However, if United has a major event as a result of this (if it plays out how the language is being interpreted on here), it’ll be everyone’s problem because public confidence in the company will be lost.
