Is it the absolute minimum, or competitive minimums? Also, considering the recent announcement by Spirit regarding their survival, I’m guessing the number of applicants from Spirit has spiked. There are plenty of Spirit pilots to hire who do have competitive minimums. I have no doubt that United’s future hiring is heavily weighted towards Spirit applicants, but I also suspect that those with more experience will get picked up first.

Back in 2021 UAL hired at least 100 furloughed CPZ pilots within 6 months, if not more. Myself included. CPZ was a small airline too, so i would say there’s definitely some weight to it.

I thank you so kindly for putting in a good word for me at United. It would bring honor to my family.

The email apparently said "all Spirit pilots", so it sounds applicable to anyone who wants to beat the rush.

Exactly, 21-R gives additional points on the app which contribute to the overall score, but if the rest of the app is a low score, then it won’t get pulled. Luckily recruiting knows who is furloughed and can ensure that the app gets the points. This of course is assuming that the pilot actually has their app in at United.

Back in 2021, the United MEC sent a letter to XJT pilots stating they were invoking Section 21-R. However, after several emails with Pilot Recruiting, they specifically stated that they weren't running the 21-R program. There seems to be a disconnect between what the MEC is saying and what HR is actually doing. FYI.

Can you attach more LORs after you submit? Asking for a friend.
