Just curious if anyone has heard of it happening recently?

Here we go again...

It happens, but only for a handful who almost all have an internal connection that 99.99999% of applicants don't have.

Thanks, that satisfies my curiosity.

Not quite true...
Have two buddies who are here now..both nada on the bachelors..neither had the special blessing you speak of...
BUT....get yourself a four year, 99.00 of the rest of the pilot group have one, or two! Jmho, of course.

I thought the same thing when I saw my first pair.

Thats the best!

Don't be discouraged if you don't have the four year degree. I was hired 30+ years ago by United without the degree. I had two years of college. It was very competitive back then. Nobody had hired since 1979. I didn't think I had a chance.... Everyone had a 4 yr degree or better. Way more experience than I did... etc... What's important to United is your work history, work ethic, and your ability to get along with those you will be working with. I submitted my application on a whim. Never thought I would be hired... Yet here I am, a senior 777 Captain years later. Do it. And good luck.

Hired 30+ years ago and no one hired since 1979? That's a narrow time frame of some sketchy hiring.
