Doing personnel management in most industries, you spend 90% of your time dealing with the bottom 10%. But at least you get to spend some time with the good folks. Thank keeps you sane.
Working in the flight office of an airline, are going to spend 99.9% of your time, mostly dealing with the same problem children, over and over.
I have done management in other places. For me, being a flight office puke would be bad for my attitude. I will rather just fly my line, go home, and beat up on Staller on APC.

Concur. Although now, working with newhires is rewarding. You're paid 90 hours per month and are able to displace pilots in order to maintain currency. The other facts mentioned above are basically true.

Just so you know back in the day I was in "management" and know the full routine. So unless you get asked and are in the know you will not get hired no matter how you applied.
Yes you "have" to fill out the official application, but rarely is there a surprise person in the office. They have already been vetted via special assignments and other work, including ALPA volunteer . You'd know that if you worked for UAL. So I'd say you have very little risk or threats.
Press on!
PS. It really isn't politics or favoritism (well mostly not). It's bringing men and women that are known and can be trusted with the "keys. "
If you actually work for UAL volunteer in your local ALPA council and get known for your quality work and support of your fellow pilots. It's not about improving you lifestyle.

I'm not sure I'm a strict office guy either. I would hope my unique personality would rub off

Regardless of this guys history, it just blows my mind to see guys are still so hung up on what some anonymous internet low life is up to.
