Well I didn't expect so many replies from a simple question!

Thanks for all the info. I've just been trying to clean up the app and have the best odds even though the metrics still sounds like they make no sense.

FWIW, I'm 5000 hours, 3500 pic, 10 LORs on airrlineapps, volunteering, recruiting, and now LCA.

You will get a call. It would help if we were really hiring. In preparation for a stable pipeline of new hires, a ton of instructors have been hired. In order for those instructors to be proficient and trained, they need pilots to train (under supervision). A request for special assignments went out today as the company is offering 90 hours of pay with lodging/positive space tickets to and from Denver for pilots willing to be “trained “ for the month of May. I’d say real hiring will begin and be steady this Fall.

Join the club Many of my former FO's have surpassed me career wise. It seems that PIC time is not desired at the moment.

On the bright side, United will run out of their currently preferred candidates and suckers like you and I, will get a shot sooner than later.

I would like to see some stats on those that are being newly hired. How many low time, no PIC time, etc. Love to see also the minority, female, and special pilots who are either members of the GPA, or other types of special interest groups.

I think folks are starting to take notice. I have heard a few grumbles about reverse discrimination.

The stats would be interesting to see ... I'm sure effort will be made to make sure we don't see the stats.

It’s interedting that just like DAL, our people will publish how many females get hired but not other “minorities”.

There in lies the problem.

No one should give a rats arse about minorities, or majorities. It should be about qualifications, and experience. If we did it that way, quality would be our champion instead of someone's pet liberal agenda.
