True, and I too wasn't asked any questions about my lack of recency and its potential impact on training though some trip reports I read mentioned the candidate was asked that type of question.

As to the myth status, I'm not sure how common knowledge that is everywhere. Including within United itself, which is why I wanted to bring it up. I did a CP Meet and Greet after I got my interview invite (it was scheduled before I received the invite and I elected to go anyway), and the CP told me right up front that getting an interview would be close to impossible due to my lack of recency. Towards the end of the meeting when he started to talk about writing me a letter of recommendation I was able to tell him I already had an interview but appreciated the opportunity to get his advice and answer my questions.

United CJO
3,200 TT
1,700 TPIC
Mostly mil time, heavy (C-130/C-17); lower hours than most 20 year heavy guys because of non-flying foreign area officer and staff duties
IP/EP x 2
3.4 Bachelors - liberal arts
3.8 Masters - international affairs
Emerald Coast (3 seminars/1 phone top-off)
Checked-and-Set app review
Aug 2015 App published
Jan 2016 NGPA job fair

Note: I asked the 20-year HR professional in my interview what advice to bring back to my buds; he said, meet the basic qualifications and then distinguish yourself with leadership-type experiences.

Stop, just stop it! You're either trolling and did not get hired by United, trying to make up credentials or you are a liar; this relates exactly to the thread. http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/ma...-mel-item.html I think Albie is spot on; show some professionalism!

The regionals are a dangerous place to be learning how to fly a twin engine aircraft. I, myself got hired at a regional with 300 hours back in the 90s but we had a thorough sim evaluation and initial training was up or out attitude, no second chances..We were also required to do a turbine transition course in a beech 1900 level d sim...All before starting initial new hire training..With my whopping 300 hours I had 70 hours multi time..These minimums were for flightsafety academy interns/instructors..Normal mins for regionals were around 1200TT/200 multi and American Eagle and Business Express required 1500TT/300 multi..How times have changed..

Hmmmm....Who is to say that more than one person cannot post with my account? This was posted by my friend/mentor who is now an ACMI pilot. Thanks for being the Airline Pilot Central Police, not so bright are we? Anyhow, carry on and I will see my UAL comrades in class soon!
