Not sure if I’d spend the $ for 225 if I wanted to go to UAL. It’ll get you the ratings, but Delta isn’t bringing you on with min hours like we do once you hit the target. Supposed you could always flow over and hang out here until you get the interview thee but seems like a lot of work when you can just do their program and eliminate the middleman. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The airline training programs are expensive (much more so than DIY at a part 61 school). But they’re structured to get you done and out the door to that airline ASAP.

I haven’t flown with a 225 pilot yet (or any 121 pilot mill person) but would be a good way to kill cruise time talking about the pros and cons, etc. I’d guess most wanted to come here from the jump.
