BAD ADVICE ALERT



Not having a 1st class medical in the application website will void your app. Find somewhere and go.

Side Note: HR Reps at UAL definitely will know what a 1st class medical looks like, they are people who hire airline pilots for a living not random nobodies. Who do you think goes over the application when you go to an interview?

Having to have a medical for a job fair !?!?: I agree , don’t overthink it. Surely you need one for the overall job position but not to hand out your resume and talk shop for 10 mins

Not required period. You aren’t submitting any documents . You can update your Medical when you get it on Airline apps . I would do it quickly just in case your stuff gets scored/reviewed ASAP . However if you can’t get it done prior to job fair it’s fine . You can always mention it and say you have appointment to do it . The Recriument team/HR are very understanding people . Get it done if you can but surely not required for a job fair.

Anyone prepping for possible questions not mentioned in the AeroCrew email? I see the 4-5 are pretty basic. What about reviewing some of the common interview questions?

Yeah, you should risk showing up to a job fair where they only invited the most “qualified” applicants, based on their airline-apps applications. And now you aren’t technically qualified because your medical is expired. That sounds like a great strategy.....

Go get your medical before you show up. I don’t know why this is even a question.

What questions? My email from them does not have any listed. Only a timeline.

There will be not be any tell me about a time (TMMAT) or what would you do (WWYD) type questions. You can expect at a minimum, Why United and Tell me about yourself.

Come prepared and don’t give an answer that you can use at another airline interview.

This is terrible, life altering bad advice. If you do not have a valid medical or passport you are not eligible for an interview at United Airlines and your application drops out of the system for consideration. Many Many airlines have a computer, even at cattle call, meet and greets to enter info on applications, they will know.

I would do everything in my physical capacity to get a first class. If there is no humanly possible way, bring it up.

(I'm an SIC at current company, so fine here as far as 2nd class is concerned). I have an appointment in September but it's just after the job fair and I'm desperately trying to get in beforehand and am on a "cancellation list" but if nothing comes up how bad is this going to look? I'm not concerned I won't pass but where I live there aren't options for AME's nearby.

You seriously live in proximity to only one AME? That's hard to believe.

If you have to drive a couple hours or fly, go do it. You'll be much more comfortable at the fair. I would not go to this somewhat exclusive hiring event with an invalid application. If you're flying that much, do it on a layover.

My medical and passport are valid and I have a bunch of 121 TPIC, can I have an invite please? And oh yeah, I actually WORKED at United for 15 years previously.

Don’t be a drama queen. Life Altering? Thats just ridiculous. If it were me, I’d update airlineapps with a first class medical dated Sept 2018. Go to the job fair...where they will not be looking at any paperwork. Go back to work and get on with your life. Get your new medical and then correct the date on your app. Zero drama and you’re done with it.

If you think they have the resources to check every iteration of your application, then disregard.
