Due to my newbie status, I cannot start a new thread but as this relates to new hire classes hopefully will get some good feedback from those who have recently gone through the process.
To prepare for a UAL interview, did you utilise aviationinterviews.com ? RST? other services?
Thanks in advance.

Currently awaiting a class date…interview invite the end of April, interviewed June 10th. Was fortunate enough to snag a slot with Cage, many weren’t quite as lucky. I have friends that prepped with other companies and got a CJO as well. I will second the statement that some prep is better than none.

Hi guys, I’m an ex XJT FO who left to fly a CE-525 Part 135 after XJT shutdown. My ultimate goal is to get to United.
Do you guys think I’m better off going back to flying Part 121 or do I have a shot with staying where I’m at, upgrading
and possibly becoming a LCA with my current company?

Plenty of people get hired with no 121 time. It all depends on the entirety of your resume. An even then, it’s HR that does the hiring so who really knows what exactly they are looking for. If you went to Stanford and did your graduate work at MIT, you’ll probably be ok.

That big sucking sound is coming back. Massive hiring across the majors, and continuing for several years, will suck up all the decent captains with the regionals as fast as they can make them.

In regards to seat locks, I understand they are only for downgrading equipment and not for upgrading. What about for lateral movement? Say 737 to A320 or vise versa? Also, in regards to base assignment, I know you can transfer or wait for a vacancy bid. How often do vacancy bids normally happen?
Finally, any idea of what the average new hire age is? Would someone mid 30s expect to be on the young or middle of the pack?
Thanks for all the help! I’m starting BI soon and trying to gain a reasonable expectation on where I’ll fall bidding initially and then follow on options to switch things up as desired after.
