I applied in February, then again in April. I am just trying to figure out why I am not getting a phone call.
I have 7000 total, 6000 plus EFIS jet time, 1500PIC turbine on a A320, 2500PIC total, but alas no degree. Working on it.
I keep hearing how desperate they are and I really want to work there(BOS bred and raised). I work overseas which I heard can be a disqualifying factor. Is it that I work overseas, or the fact that I do not have the degree that is holding me back? Or is it they think that I will just jump ship as soon as United calls (which they wont because of the degree), or some other thing I am not thinking of. Just trying to raise my kids in a normal place. I'd appreciate some insight.

Rumors of JB being desperate for pilots are wildly exaggerated. Keep the faith, and go to a career fair to meet someone in person.

They do hire guys from foreign carriers, we had 2 in my class a little over 5 years ago. It's really still luck of the draw and who you know.
The degree is not a showstopper as well or living near a United base.
Keep updating that app and really try to get to a job fair.
Good luck man hope you get back to the states soon.

The seniority list is only produced twice per year. Have any of the last few lists had fewer pilots than the previous? Serious question. I haven't looked to see. The next one comes out in July. Let's see what it says.
