Good afternoon all,

I have been hired by LAT Arizona (Flight School) to work as a CFI for 1.5 years to then transition directly to United Airlines. It is by far, the quickest way to get to a legacy carrier! I wanted to start this thread to inform anyone interested about the program to help guide you through the process. If you are approaching minimum 500 hours or have more, please feel free to private message me to get more details on the program.

How will you get around the 1000 fixed-wing turbine time requirement United has?

This will be a fun thread!

I mean it sounds insane, but their website is advertising what the OP said: https://www.latcpp.com/.

There's got to be some catch that I'm missing? I can't imagine that United is really desperate enough that they are willing to hire CFIs over pilots with air carrier experience...

Do they go to UAL or UAL Express?

There are a few on property that started indoc the class after mine.

So it is indeed a thing.

It is as described. So far they have had 3 complete the training and are completed with IOE with UAL, not Express. Roughly takes 2 years in total from initial start date at LAT Arizona to start date at UAL. The kicker for the program is they waive the 1000 PIC jet time requirement.

The pilot shortage has officially arrived!

Am I the only one who’s just a tiny teeny bit peefed?
10k+ hrs & 3 types
What’s the catch? Tied hand and foot for life?
Firstborn ?

Will they hire airline pilots?
I have 500 hours.
