Are they even coming out with a TA?

There is really no reason to. At this point you would be better off making small LOA's point by point.

Actually, they have, might want to educate yourself.

I want to say United hired people and paid for private licenses, they defiantly have paid for instruments ratings and above.

Yeah, it absolutely happened. I don't think they ever paid for private certificates. But there was a full page advertisement in Plane and Pilot magazine back in the 60s where United was advertising to pay for commercial certificates (250 hrs.) and get a job with United. In other words their hiring minimums were a private certificate and instrument rating.

I remember seeing the ad recently that somebody scanned and uploaded to some other forum or group. Wish I could find it.

Y'all realize that United hiring private pilots was over 50 years ago, right? The entire airline industry is absolutely nothing like it was back then.
