2016 Hiring Data

Alpa still has the 2015 hiring data up on their website. Just saw that Delta recruiting posted the 2016 hiring data for them. What's the chance/time frame you think for United to update/post their data?

Thanks

*Bump*

Crickets huh

Anybody know how many were hired at least in 2016

Just take the number of retirements for 2016 and subtract 2. That's the ball park number of guys hired.

Been to a job fair and comment from #2 in recruiting was, " Just keep doing what you're doing." What am I supposed to take away from that?

Seems pretty self explanatory to me.

??? Are you surprised that there is a long list of people that want a fantastic job? It is well worth the effort in the end. If you are going to sit back and wait for them to call you WILL be passed up by people willing to do anything to get hired. Average age of a civilian new hire has been high 30's with north of 5000 TT, degree, and clean records.

Well, you got hired at United two months ago so 1200-1300 in 2018's guaranteed. :rolleyes:

Funny. Everyone I know at the regional and even LCC level that has met UAL recruiters at a "job fair" have been told something similar. I will never understand why they waste everyone's time with this.

Despite what you hear from line pilots who haven't interviewed in a half a decade or more, the days of networking and who you know are over. I know people who are so well connected, they could walk into the Willis Tower and have lunch with any number of managers, yet they can't get past the computerized algorithm, despite high time, degrees, and clean records. Nowadays, if your quals and demographics don't hit the sweet spot of whatever the algorithm is looking for, you don't get an interview. No one can get you past the algorithm. Which is why the recruiters blow smoke up everyone's butts. If UAL is seriously interested in hiring the best, they heed to put more human interaction back in. Not have a lottery.
