Flight Operations Leadership Announcement



To the United Flight Operations Team,



I am pleased to announce the following appointments to

leadership positions in the new United Flight Operations

organization:



Managing Director-Flight Operations: Captain Jim Starley

Managing Director-Training: Captain Keith Rimer

Managing Director-Flight Standards: Captain Dave Lynn

Managing Director-Technical and Flight Test: Captain Joe Burns

Managing Director-Crew Resources: Captain Chip Benton

System Chief Pilot CAL: Captain Steve Arnold

System Chief Pilot UAL: Captain Curt Hughes



It is important to note that we will have a separate System

Chief Pilot for each airline until we achieve a Single

Operating Certificate/Joint Collective Bargaining Agreement or

a future time to be determined. Additionally, we still need to

fill the Managing Director-Flight Operations Contract

Administration position, and that person will be named at a

later date.

I am gratified to know we have such a deep talent pool from

which to select our leadership team, but that made the

selection process that much more difficult and time consuming.

Thank you for your patience during this process, and I hope

you’ll join me in congratulating our new Flight Operations

leaders.



The talent selection process is continuing, and our new

leaders are in the process of completing the job postings

needed to build their teams. I encourage all qualified

candidates to review those postings on the Talent Selection

portal and apply for any positions of interest.
