I’ll be direct, if you’re not a white male you’d be a fool to NOT have your apps in just because you don’t hold time in the left seat. If you’re not a minority, unfortunately unless you’ve done a prior internship with UAL I’d say you’ll need to prove yourself slightly more. But highly recommend you apply and get your name into the system! You never know!

I’m sure they all had less hours and experience than you and still managed to get hired. We’re hiring FAs, have you tired that?

I think the point was that unless you have a hook, getting hired without TPIC is very rare, probably non-existent even. The pool of qualified applicants with TPIC is deep.

Lol! Honestly, I was born in Africa, and I was a minority, but I cannot identify as non-white. LOL! Either way, UA has always been my goal airline. I have been told I have a great application, but so do thousands more. I will continue to fight the fight. I commute a ton on UA jumpseats, and I have enjoyed every moment, and have had great conversations with the crews. It's the place I want to be.

And the applicant pool is 90% PLUS white male.

And here I was hoping this thread wouldn’t fall to the sex/race/etc conversation. Can we at least keep this thread on topic of Aviate movement please.
If anyone wants to read about how unfair it is that so-and-so got a class date “because their a minority/woman/etc” followed by the “look at the demographics of every class!” argument, there are hundreds of posts about that in the United to hired 300 pilots post (as well as pretty much every other thread).

As such, here’s to hoping we hear about some more aviate movement between now and Thursday.
