But you will lose it over dishonesty, as perceived by the company, whether intentional on your part or an oversight.

This question was asked to the UAL recruiters during the virtual job fair last week, here is what they said: "no specific application questions are to be answered here." So I guess we're toasted!!!

But let's be hopeful that we get invited to the next Hiring Expo this coming September...

Do you mind sharing the exact email address United used to send the Hogan invite? Part of me still in denial and wants to check in the Junk mail file :rolleyes:

Are you stupid or something? Read the thread. People who were invited to the job fair were the top 1% of their application stack. You dont become the 1% by just flying the line. I am taking about people holding serious positions with their companies, as in, ADP, 119 positions, checkairman, and project managers, in addition to volunteering. United turned their backs on them and hired people not even in the same caliber.

Oh? You failed the Hogan?? You should probably advise your current employer so they can promptly take you off flying status. I mean, after all, you fly legacy passengers to their connecting hubs. The chain is broken.:D What a bunch of meaningless bs.

Any psych major can tell you that these tests are ineffective in revealing a pilot's true mental health. Why? Because people are smart.
Aside from the obvious 'serial killer questions', to which everyone is purvey, they neither prove nor disprove anything.

As a supporting side-note to my argument, Lubitz -the Germanwings pilot, passed his psych evaluation and was totally calm and collected when he locked his partner out of the cockpit and aimed toward the Alps.

I think the top 1pct were called directly for interviews. I think the expo was for candidates they were on the fence about, otherwise why not just interview them?

The test seemed to be more about finding personalities that fit the company culture than mentally fit pilots. Too bad HR is developing the flight ops culture rather than flight ops.

It’s unfortunate that anyone should think a ‘placement’ test can serve as a gateway into a company’s culture.

I haven’t been reading a long with this thread much. Just popped in to see what was going on regarding a job fair from back in September. Triple I’m just curious what your status with United is? Did you attend the job fair and not hear anything back or what? Just from a brief read seems like you are on the war path regarding our hiring practices. I know many of us here myself included aren’t thrilled over the hiring issues here. Just curious where you stand as you are pretty vocal about it all.
