Expanding in 2021? No way UA adds another pilot in 2021, much less expands the program.

Yes, I am not just making stuff up for fun. This is all information coming from the company that they are dedicated to keeping the program running and growing as time moves on. Just a messenger. I believe they used the word, "unwavering" at one point describing its' status. They're thinking long term. I also think there is a public forum held about it in the next few days, will see what happens. Hopefully more airlines are added to the list for more pilots to have access.

Agree. And when they do add it will start with mil pilots (the only real, decades old, flow program).

How is that even implied flow? Military guys gain the required experience in the military. Regional guys do the same flying for a regional. The legacy airlines have hired thousands from each group, both groups are extremely qualified, and both have proven equally able to complete training and become a company asset. When hiring eventually starts back up, there will be some from the military, regionals, freight companies, LCC’s.........

I really hate to see young men and women fall for these hiring gimmicks. Glad I’m at OO.
