That's very aggressive. I don't think that United's training capacity can handle that many on a sustained basis. I would WAG that not much more than 100/mo could be done on a sustained basis.

Hey all,

I just put in my app in airline apps, and I got an immediate email, stating...Thank you for your interest in United Airlines and application as a First Officer.

As you may know, due to the impacts of COVID-19, we have placed a pause on conducting interviews as well as new hire classes.

We use e-mail as a primary means of communication with all applicants. Please ensure your current e-mail address is updated on your application.

I was just at TK and with the MAX sims up and running and the 2 additional MAX sims we just bought they can handle 200/mo.

Andy

TK's only part of the equation. There are also LCAs needed.

GolferNJ

True, but that doesn’t seem like an insurmountable limfac.

Andy

What's the maximum number of newhires TK has done on a sustained pace year round? Better yet, when's the last time that TK trained newhires year round?

Winston

LCAs can be minted in an incredibly short timeframe. If you needed it done ASAP, we’re talking less than a week from selection to FAA line check complete.

Been there, done that.

MasterOfPuppets

Not true at United the process is months. That’s why there have been so many LCA posting over the last two months. The LSMs have been doing continuous interviews for weeks on all fleets.

we have ALOT of sims 200 a month is doable and planned.

The comment was referring to the people who already successfully interviewed in 2019 in the Aviate program, and have met all the requirements to transition to United. Those Aviate participants are still waiting for class dates.
