Like it matters?

(Insert legacy airline) has hired universally hated pilot(s) from (insert regional airline) since forever.

Will UAL be accepting resumes at OBAP?

Other legacies are not stupid enough to put their head of pilot hiring say the people in that room were the 1% of their application stack and predictably hire the complete opposite.

They outright told people they wouldn’t be taking them at women in aviation. And then they did once you got there. So...... maybe?

This is where I can’t crack the nut. Way before I was competitive the job fairs had the fast pass lines, then they went away, now you’re saying they took applications at WIA? So is it worth going to a job fair like WIA and OBAP now or not? Went to WIA in 2017 and that was the last fast pass fair I believe. Only got to speak with SWA but either way I was still not very competitive. So go or not to go and wait for a internal invite?

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.

Which psych evaluation did Lubitz take? He was obviously able to be a chameleon long enough to get a job. I think a lot of people that shouldn’t be flying have done that in the past with or without the test. We have all sat next to someone and we have wondered how they got through the screening process.

No matter what the case is the test can eliminate some of those that wouldn’t be a good fit at the carrier. The test is less about mental state and more and mental/moral compass.

People go off the rails all the time. It happens. But if you can filter some of them with the test then I fully support that effort.

As mentioned earlier I find the process to be inconsistent, filled with nepotism, often biased, and unprincipled in its affiliations.

I have nothing against United. I think it’s a great company but I take issue with their HR philosophy and practice. I’m not alone in this. I know I’m not. And the best part is that I have nothing to lose or gain by speaking my mind because too many (here) live in fear of speaking their minds.

As far as my personal career goals are concerned, I’m fine. I only hope to shed light on what many perceive to be unjust hiring practices.

Sounds like you think it’s unjust because you didn’t get hired. If you were hired would you be bearing your drum ?

Nepotism? You are saying that UAL should not be hiring family members but there are 12,000+ pilots clamoring for the ability to hire family.

You have claimed many things about the UAL hiring. However, I have flown with some hires from 2013 onward recently that were outstanding people and good pilots. Appears the hiring and training department is doing a good job from the end product I see on the line.

The next United Pilot Hiring Expo will be on September 10th and 11th. United will be reviewing applications this month for the September event. Please update your apps and if you have any questions please post them here. Good luck to everyone!

Well it’s nice to know a date has been set for the United event this year. Do we know how many applicants will get invited? Also, this is purely off the competitiveness of your Airline Apps application only?
