If your advice is to wait until you are on the street vs a letter saying you will be on the street, that’s fine. But the high horse preaching about the level of integrity of UAL pilots, sure.
He just pointed out that saying anything that is not technically correct on your application could result in you not getting the call. A former colleague (not NK) was fired during training for questionable behavior. What he told me happened should not have gotten him fired, but I knew him, and I wasn't sure if he told me the whole story.... I don't think the advice to be above reproach from applying (until of probation) suggests UA pilots are better than the others.
