We would never dream of denying unless the FAA directly said you are prohibited.
Now I see guys gloating on internet forums how they're denying innocent fellow pilots, probably trying to get home to their families,
who, by the way, are still carrying them on UAL jumpseats even without an agreement.
Camaraderie, professional courtesy, look how sadly things have changed…..

How do you see UAL pilots?

Lots of newhires coming in from SkyWest and 99% I've flown with have been great and not carrying negative baggage.
Current estimate is 450+ retirements from now through 2020 plus more growth, so lots of hiring going forward.
