Good point. Oh yes. Been flying the last 20 yrs and have definitely ticked most all those boxes at some point. I pray I'm competitive enough to make the cut.

Just something to think about for your boyfriend, unless he is coming to a regional from a lot of experience elsewhere like 135, in which case a stop in a regional probably isn’t necessary either.

OTS
That's what I was leaning towards seeing the timeframe all these pilots are having to wait. I can see the frustration of waiting this long on their faces. I know getting into the program is not a CJO, but only a handful of people, maybe 6 or 7 have gotten a class date through Aviate since UAL started hiring this year. Appreciate your input friend. Definitely not as advertised.

I'd say for someone just getting started in their career, Aviate is the way to go. One and done interview. Just do your time at the selected UAX carrier. For those that are more experienced, you'll probably do better applying off the street. To each their own.

No one in my airline has received any class dates in August through Aviate. My boyfriend works for a different Aviate airline and it's the same news there...nothing!! Seems to me that the program is in a stand still or paused. Going off the street is faster. Know 2 people who interviewed OTS 2 months ago and got class dates in August. Few Aviate people I talked to at AW waiting patiently interviewed in 2019. Both of them are interviewing at different airlines this week feeling slighted and losing a lot of seniority at UAL. Personally, I don't know what I want to do. My bf is thinking Aviate cause he's new to the airlines and needs experience in the 121 world. I have my time and based on what is required in Aviate, exceed all of them, so I'm thinking OTS. Thoughts?

Aviate hiring didn’t have anything to slow from. It barely got started.

I'm curious why you haven't started applying to majors with 20 years of experience? How long have you ben at an airline? Do you have a degree? United has only been hiring for what, 90 days? And they said everyone will be at United in less than 6 months? Seems like a fair gig.

Future of Aviate
Agree it’s just getting started. To clarify, I would expect this to become a seasonal pattern going forward. Aviate hiring will slow during the summer months to prevent placing additional stress on regional partners during the busy season. Then once flying slows and regional partners are better able to handle the attrition Aviate hiring pace will increase. It is one of the obvious benefits to the company of the Aviate system. Perhaps I am mistaken.
