Prep
I have heard from an extremely reliable source that UAL wants prep companies to go away.
They want to talk to the real you. For better or worse. #Integrity. |

Pick your date and then work with your CP for time off. That’s what I did and had no issues.

A prep company helps you tell the HR people who you are. You may have a fantastic life story, but if it takes you 5 minutes to tell it you’ve probably lost the interview. |

I don’t think that is good advice.

I don’t think prep is really necessary if you truly practice at home and get your hands on a list of TMAAT questions.

To prep with a formal company or not depends on your background. If you have extensive experience conducting STAR interviews yourself or have been through many HR interviews before in passed jobs you may be just fine. The key is to be very specific, complete your thoughts , and make sure you give details in your actions. Never use the words I always , usually , sometimes etc... Take a minute to think before answering during the interview no matter how prepared you are. I think people get thrown a curveball with some of the questions because they didn’t have a story prepared and then just spit out whatever comes to mind. It is ok to take your time. A minute to you will feel a lot slower than a minute to the interviews as they expect you to think and be methodical as we are on the flight deck.

The majority of interviewees during my interview were military. That should tell you something about their little Aviate Program. I should have moved on from XJT a long time ago. They definitely did a good job of stringing us along thinking we'll have a shot at United.
The crazy part is, they are luring younger people into thinking they should fly for one of the 4 regionals. Then they will go to United when their time has been met. That makes me sick! I would be very upset if I was in this program and went through college thinking I would get hired. I have done a fair amount of time at XJT. No major issues that would prevent me from being part of the program and still denied...twice. Do not Opt in to their program. You will only be setting yourself up for failure when you see the other people in the interview are mainly NOT regional pilots. Rant over. |

Why did you do the interview if the program is such a joke?

United has announced that Bebe O'Neill, former base chief pilot for the Denver base, has been promoted to Managing Director of the Aviate program.
Anybody who's followed her progress knows she's going places within the company. So, to me, this announcement suggests that United is putting a lot of emphasis on the Aviate program, and, if you're serious about a career with United, ignore Aviate at your own risk! |
Does anyone know how many of the people who were turned down during the CPP program were lacking a 4 year degree? Some were due to attitude or other reasons, but they place a huge emphasis on the degree. A program may get your name drawn out of the hat, but if you don’t have what they want they are not likely to offer the job.

Take everything with a grain of salt. People say the program is such a scam and just a recruiting tool.... then why are they being so selective? If they wanted to use it solely as a recruiting tool, they would accept everyone then turn them down at the end. If you get in, you are in no way guarantee an FO position but it’s pretty much yours to lose.

These programs do not exist for YOUR career progression. They exist solely to staff their B scale cheap labor, they have every incentive to turn away as many people as possible.

If you have an attendance problem already (History of UTCs, no shows, and a bunch of sick calls >4/Year) then you might want to avoid banging out on a major holiday. |

The previous CPP was specifically updated just prior to when I was hired to state that a sick call over a company holiday would disqualify you. I am being a bit sarcastic because the new Aviate doesn’t specifically address the situation, however you are required to pass a subjective ‘final review’ prior to getting the nod to United.

Seems like 7-10 days. From what I understand they do a review every other Wednesday. |

There is no Hogan on for Aviate. There is a leadership assessment that you take in Denver on interview day.

Hogan is the company, not the name of the specific test. The test may be completely different than the previous one.

There are like 500 questions. Just because it’s the same type of questions doesn’t mean the test is the same or the parameters they’re looking for are the same.

Sorry to hear you got turned down. |
I also got a TBNT today. Thought I had a story to tell for every question, had call outs down cold. I’m fairly new to XJT so whether it’s experience or me who knows. Good luck to those interviewing and who received a welcome letter!
