Deep in the article sounds like it said no structured interview required. So is this the first 141-Legacy actual, legit flow? Or do I just need another cup of coffee this morning.

I went to UND, can I go back??

Much like the agreement with the other school, AND the CPP's. The initial language is vague at best. And will probably be subject to multiple additions and changes.

UAL and UND have announced an agreement subject to the whim (i.e. Manpower retention) of Express CPA carriers.

Agreed.

CPP = carrot dangle/retention scheme at the regionals.

This and others = carrot dangle/retention scheme at the college level.

This is significant as a conditional job offer is being made, subject to the above hoops, to an unqualified applicant. It appears that pilot hiring is being farmed out to the universities. Traditionally, a UAL captain (ALPA member), has been a part of the pilot hiring process, I wonder how this will change that dynamic.

Exactly.

Which means the prospective pilot can consider themselves on probation from day 1 of starting the UND program to end of year 1 at UAL. Assuming they make it there of course.

Yeah, seriously, can we? Class of '02, former intern while there...Nothing but the cold shoulder since the day I published my app.

Not to mention the argument over pass travel and line seniority

I talked to a current student there. He said they announced they need 150 Multi (basically forcing them to become MEIs unless they have the money to shell out for the additional 129 hours outside of the TCO), then they go to the partner regional until they get 2500 turbine, then into United.

He didn’t say. That’s what I was wondering. With some regionals struggling to get people into the left seat, it would make sense.

The ATCA program doesnt, and that’s straight from piston to UAL newhire.

I don’t see how they’d make it a requirement with this program since the pilot will get some ACTUAL 121 experience.

Maybe I missed it so apologize in advance. My question is: Doesn’t every pilot hired here have to have an ATP? And if that’s the case wouldn’t they already have their 500 of PIC?

Cheers,

Im proably misreading on what they meant regarding PIC/TPIC hence my post :o

Yeah one omitted and assumed letter on my part tripped you and others up. My apologies.

I was wanting to know if 121 TPIC would be required. If the regionals hire only FOs and don’t require them to upgrade, how will they source their Captains? My guess is it’ll require some left seat 121 time before leaving these regionals.
