Find a school that’s regionally accredited and even better if it’s an online branch of a brick and mortar.
100% agreed, and thanks for posting.

Several have gone to UA with a California Coast degree.

Don’t fool yourselves, all they look for is checking a box.

I checked them out and apparently if you're a woman in aviation you don't pay out of state tuition, but if you're a man you do. So F that.

No doubt, UA doesn’t care what degree or how you got it. But like I said be very careful if you ever plan to use that degree for anything else in the future as there is a very good chance it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on. But it is a “4 year degree” so you can check that box for United

That certainly wasn’t true in 2016.

Source? I don't see that anywhere in their website.

Private universities usually don't differentiate between instate VS out of state

So if you pass the Hogan and pass the interview and wait 2 yrs for a final review your golden; chance 40% . I have met three really good work mates get turned down at the final review in the past two weeks. You want to talk about feeling burned; try waiting for the dream job 2 yrs then, Psych its all gone.

Without even asking around I've personally flown with 3 guys in the last 2 months that have had that same thing. I hate hearing this.

I don’t understand. Two years for a final review?

Agreed. And there's no reason given. One captain I flew with recently learned it was likely because he interviewed off the street after getting hired in the CPP, and it he didn't get hired OTS. So that apparently affected his final review. A second one I have is hearsay: an FO said at the interview that he'd likely take the first upgrade opportunity at Xjet. Shortly thereafter, his wife got pregnant and he decided to stay an FO to be with her and his new kid. That caused United to tell him to eff off in the final review.

And there's zero transparency to all of this.
