It's not blind jealousy.

Captains I've flown with have all been willing to answer the dumbest of questions and provide feedback when needed. Some even go out of their way to be helpful.
I don't think they'd be happy to have to provide basic instruction, but they are far from grouches that expect perfection.
The guys and girls that get to UA through this program will be put through the same training that the rest of us have. I'm sure they're more than capable of succeeding.
The issue isn't those selected through the program. We know that. I certainly didn't feel like I belonged after the introductions were made in indoc. The caliber of people that I was surrounded by was pretty astounding.
Giving up class slots when highly qualified pilots are overlooked is what drives people nuts.

Regional LCA’s and CA’s are additionally tasked with not only helping the new pilot adapt to a new plane and company, but often how to fly a complex aircraft in a crew environment. And sadly sometimes, how to fly.
Whereas, at the legacy level that’s just not the case.
And for those screaming that “the Europeans have been doing it for years!!!”
Apples to oranges. Their screening/selection process is light years ahead of the UAL program.
And their IOE process is more, usually A LOT MORE..

Good afternoon all,
I have been hired by LAT Arizona (Flight School) to work as a CFI for 1.5 years to then transition directly to United Airlines. It is by far, the quickest way to get to a legacy carrier! I wanted to start this thread to inform anyone interested about the program to help guide you through the process. If you are approaching minimum 500 hours or have more, please feel free to private message me to get more details on the program.

The Euro LCC programs entrance requirement is: "Does the check clear?"
I used to be an ab initio instructor for an orange airbus carrier over there. It's very much pay 2 fly.
