The blind jealousy on this forum sometimes is kind of disappointing to see.

It's not blind jealousy.

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..

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.
