What does a 1Q22 hiring projection/guess mean for poolies?
I had one foot on the ladder to get out of the pool (the good way) last March...

Dated info, but there was at one time a policy that anyone that went longer than year from interview (or CJO?) to actually on property had to go through a "re-interview".

Granted, NOT a full on actual interview. But a face to face and just review/update personal info to make sure nothing changed, you didn't turn into an ax murderer or have anything criminal/disqualifying added to your record, training failures/dings, etc.

Again, dated info.

Thanks. Current verbiage from the hiring folks on that is "abbreviated review process" but I was more curious about timing - drain the pool first or start hiring and draining at the same time?

I know this is crystal ball stuff, but anyway..........

They said aviate interviews will likely resume soon so maybe the rumors are true.

I heard they outsourced it to the NGPA.

meh.....not going with you on that one. I’ll make snide comments about young and inexperienced people making huge decisions that affect people for the rest of their lives, but I don’t really have a bone to pick with the NGPA.

I don’t know, but it’s likely two to three months of people.

I was a December interview who appeared headed for a March class. That could leave poolies from Dec/Jan/Feb.

They were interviewing as many as 100 people a week at most, though not always. Things sure did change quickly.

I don’t want to start a red vs blue debate, but could bills passed by the current regime lead to increased hiring at United and the reduction of the regionals? Potential environmental regulations, the push to be “green”, and tax credits/penalties could increase operating cost and make the smaller planes even less efficient. We still have a bunch of aircraft on order and we didn’t retire any of our fleet. Will we use that lift to take back flying and increase the need to hire, or will we just go back to the same UAL/UAX fleet mix that we had and hire again when attrition becomes an issue?

We are all gonna be in trouble when Jet A is $10/gal. Due to shutting down the oil
industry in this country.
