I also used month/year format for all my dates. It didn't seem to matter.

First-timer in this thread, but enjoying all the insights and opinions posted here.

In the addendum section of the UAL application, the first box is for "affiliates."

The first option under the "affiliates" drop-down menu is for "unemployed by virtue of lay-off/shutdown of ALPA-represented carrer."

This was true for me a few years ago and I did have a period of unemployment because of it. However I am currently employed; in fact have gone thru a few different jobs since then. At the top of the page, it says "Do not select any affiliations if none of the following apply."

Would I be justified in checking the box as "unemployed by virtue of lay-off/shutdown of ALPA-represented carrer?" I have not to date, but was wondering how others handled it. I believe the intent of the question is to give ALPA furloughees some inside channels to get hired. I worked for 5.5 years at an ALPA carrier (ACA/Independence) that shut down and put me and many others on the street.

Thanks for all perspectives.

I'm thinking not good.

RCAC

That is what I figured, hence had not checked that box.

It'd be better to not check and explain later in the interview. Just my opinion.

Straight from UAL recruitement- To make that selection one must be CURRENTLY unemployed. Not the best way to treat those layed off from ALPA carrier but have found another job-aviation or otherwise- to support a family.
