You want to use there [MENTION=33113]United[/MENTION].com email but yes just type it in and they receive a link to post the letter on your app
FYI I've had AirlineApps recommendations trigger the spam filter on the [MENTION=33113]United[/MENTION].com email system. They eventually go through but it takes a while for them to show up.

May want to leave him out of the conversation...they aren’t hiring him... (I too am a legacy, but never once used it to try and get ahead. Even at the interview I never brought it up...until they asked and then I talked about myself and MY ABILITIES, not about my “Dad”.
Just food for thought...

Did anyone get hired with less than 1000pic?

I always thought my degree was questionable (transportation mgmnt, railroads). Hands down the easiest degree program out there (save for airline mgmnt. ie:planes). Come on now! Youre studying what you ostensibly love? It was with quite a dose of humility to admit that I struggled outta the gate and into the finish line with a 2.4 GPA. I cant imagine how the airlines Hiring team looks at these low plane and train GPA’s. Lol. Good luck gentleman!

Has anyone been hired without any jet time?

i.e. I'm retired Army, 4100 total time, 2300 in helicopters, 1800 in the King Air. Currently Part 135 Captain, bachelors degree, volunteer work, a few internals.

Do I TRULY stand a chance or do I need to make a change to my resume before I would be considered?

Thanks!

Psst! The King Air has turbine engines.:)

You will get a shot eventually, just keep updating.

Yes, but.....

IMHO, you DO stand a chance and I'd suspect you would eventually have a reasonable chance to be hired, but statistically your odds will be better on the backside of the hiring wave.

It's still competitive and there are still lots of candidates with lots of PIC jet time that will sit higher on the stack for a while. This is where changing your resume is a potential consideration.

That said, there have also been pilots hired with lower qualifications than yours.

If you can stand out from the heard you just changed the odds.
