Hiring Update
March 2014
In 2013, United made conditional offers of employment to 543 new pilots. As of March 1, 2014, a little over 350 of these pilots began their Basic Indoctrination training at our Flight Training facilities in Denver or Houston. The balance of the pilots selected in 2013 remains in a pool awaiting a class date assignment and the present wait time for a class date is approximately six months. Normally, our desire is to place a new pilot in class no more than 30-60 days after receiving a conditional offer of employment. However, our throughput of new-hire pilots is constrained at the moment by a priority on using available training capacity to train new captains. We also are welcoming back an increased number of pilots who had bypassed furlough recall and are opting to exercise their right to return to United. This, in turn, reduces the number of new-hire pilots needed to staff the airline.
In spite of a reduction in the rate of new-hire pilot training, Basic Indoctrination classes are planned through late in the second quarter of 2014. These classes are filled first with recalled pilots who return from bypass status and pilots returning from leaves of absence and then with new-hires. All category assignments for new and recalled pilots since the beginning of the year have been to the 320, 76T, and 737 based in Newark.
Because of the number of pilots who remain in the pool of candidates with conditional job offers, we have not conducted interviews since the beginning of 2014 and will not likely resume interviewing until the fall of this year. In the meantime, we continue to participate in a limited number of career fairs to promote the United brand to prospective pilots. As is typical in the airline business, plans can change and we stand ready to adjust accordingly.
FWIW

(Right now the training situation is one giant CF. Numerous reports of cancelled events and last minute changes to schedules. It's going to be interesting to see how they untangle this bird's nest.)

United Airline pilots
Was at the WAI conference and attending the hiring briefing. They will be at OBAP in Vegas for the Spring Fair. They said they will not have a heavy presence there and probably not be taking resumes. They will be at the OBAP fair in the fall with many recruiters present.
Also stated that they are done interviewing/calling until the Fall because they don't interview in the summer cause everyone is out on the line. Pool has 150ish and averaging 20 a month that are returning from furlough, leaves, etc.

Slightly different
In the briefing I went to, CV said they were only going to LAS to brief the membership, NO job fair there but they would be at Atlanta OBAP with a recruiting team. No interviews until at least the fall and he said about 180 in the pool. Returning numer per month was the same.
