The program is currently suspended and no Hogan tests are being given out. No answer as to when or if things will change.

 

Yep, do not come to this airline expecting this program.

Being that you appear to be from Express Jet how do you know it’s suspended for AWAC pilots? Assumption or official statement?

 

From a United forum.

“Later this week United plans to introduce a redesigned and reinvigorated pilot recruiting and development program. We wanted to share this with you first before we announce it publicly.

As you know, with our growth plans and retirements, we need a strong pipeline of the best pilots. Together with your colleagues, Flight Ops, ALPA, HR and our United Express team, we’ve designed a program that offers more entry points, more development opportunities and a quicker and more transparent path to United, which will be industry leading. It’s a program designed to ensure we bring the highest quality talent in the marketplace to United flight decks versus our competitors.

You’ll see much more information soon, and many more exciting “announcements to follow later

A similar announcement was posted to CSS

 

Wouldn’t industry leading be a flow of some type

 

You would think, but i dont think that is what they intend to do. I see a flow wayy down the road when other regionals get bought and put under the MANAIR umbrella.. rumor has it Airwisky is next to be bought, only time will tell

 

Just like Compass, Mesa, and Trans States.

 

Just another way to keep us in suspense.

I don’t see United EVER having a flow. Not unless the pilot shortage AT THE MAJOR LEVEL becomes absolutely desperate.

Right now they want what they want, the ability to decide AT THEIR LEVEL what the best pilots they can hire are. I don’t necessarily agree with their criteria (I think the Hogan is largely bogus for instance) but that doesn’t matter, they want what THEY want.

What they DON’T want is to have to commit to someone before that last hiring point. They really can’t afford AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL, to screen out the guys/gals with no degrees, a number of training failures, a few too many DUIs or other legal history, or even guys/gals that don’t fill out the Hogan like they want it filled out, because the pilot shortage at the regional level doesn’t permit them to do that, but they really don’t want those people at the next level if they can possibly get people that DO fit the algorithm they have in their mind for THE UNITED AIRLINES PILOT, either by stacking the interviews with military fliers or skimming what they believe to be the cream off the top of someone else’s regional.

And they ESPECIALLY don’t want to get the reputation that “their” regionals are the go to places for folks with all of those deficiencies where they can just “hang out” long enough that that UNITED AIRLINES PILOT job will just fall into the lap of someone they don’t view as deserving.

And for now and the foreseeable future, they can avoid making those commitments right up until the last moment because there are enough of those people knocking on their recruiters door.

That doesn’t mean they aren’t going to be ready to award increased opportunities at selection for people from “their” regional, or even a few brownie points in the scoring, but strict seniority based flow? I’ll be amazed if we ever see it.
