It's AQP which translates to No Pilot Left Behind. In all seriousness though, the training is very good. Show up prepared and you'll have no problem at all. If you are having trouble LET SOMEONE KNOW! They will get you the help you need.

The company will spend countless extra hours getting somebody through training as long as they don’t have a bad attitude. Don’t sweat training as it has a tendency to make you dwell on errors rather than learning the lesson and moving on. Study hard, don’t expect to be spoon fed, show up every day with positivity and you will be fine. Examples of bad attitudes - entitlement, superiority of previous company, disdain for SOPs that you don’t like etc. That being said - don’t sacrifice family issues etc for training. The company recognizes we are all juggling balls and some are made of glass. Don’t drop the wrong ball and have your priorities set correctly and training management will support you.

unfortunately due to unforeseen family issues, I may be taking a break from flying… so i’ve had to pull my app from the hiring process and cancel my interview. Any idea on when I would be able to apply again? Would it be the 12 months waiting period? Thanks

Maybe go ahead and interview now and ask for a class date down the road , if successful.

You should communicate with the interviewers. Maybe reschedule to a later date or interview now and get the cjo and get a class in a handful of months or when you're available. I'm sure they'll work with you.Did you just cancel everything with no explanation?

At the interview they said it’s likely to have a 3 month wait between indoc and fleet training. Is that what people have been seeing?

That time is shrinking. Some are getting IOE right after sims and some are still waiting.

Anyone care to explain what California sick is? I’m a commuter to LAX and if I’m paying for something I’d like to know what’s available to me. Thanks

I had to bump my interview a month due to a family emergency (even though United says no deferrals/changes in their communications). I'd recommend continuing forward with your interview date and email the hiring team and communicate what's going on. If they call you for an interview, it means they want you. But life happens and they can be flexible. Just ask. Worst case is they tell you to reapply but if you pull it yourself, you HAVE to re-apply...

Can anyone share what the current wait looks like for the different airframes for initial training? I assume NB is couple weeks and WBis few months, starting indoc soon and trying to plan ahead.

I haven’t heard of any significant delays for sim training. IOE has been delayed for some folks, but you can’t project the delays because once the backlog hits a certain point the company triages the list. So just because the previous class waited a month for IOE it doesn’t mean you won’t get called 3 days after your sim check.

Finished sim at the end of July and been sitting home waiting for IOE. I was recently told to wait another week for information. I think they are really backlogged.

Got WB LAX as a March new hire.

I don't think so

If you bring a car you're going to find it on cinderblocks one morning with probably some homeless people sleeping in it.

So maybe yes maybe no? Lol

March of 2021 maybe.

lol if you think the area by TK is anywhere near that bad I have a reverse mortgage and some gold to sell you. It’s a “leave your Rolex in your room and don’t run at night with headphones in” neighborhood at worst.

Virginia Ave, by delta HQ in Atlanta on the other hand….

Guam
 

Does anyone have any input into what life is like on Guam? I used to live in a pretty isolated place and it was a really good time. Do they have reasonable schools there and is there a good mix of people?

I think they call that a “soup kitchen”.

Its been since 2011since I lived in Guam. Can’t comment on schools. But if you like humidity, outdoor activities, and scuba diving. Guam is a great place. I lived there from 2006-2011

Hey quick benefits question. At United can you add your in-laws to your flight benefits in liue of your biological parents ?

No, you cannot. If your parents have passed, you lose those passes and cannot use them for in-laws or anyone else.

Are they still requiring proof of covid vaccine to show up for your interview?

Yes, they are.

Damn… That sucks.

After fleet is bid do we get paired with a newhire fo for sims or an upgrading / transition ca?

Indoc New Hire Questions
 

Depends. it seemed like in my class they paired a lot of the military and 135 people with upgrading captains, while most of the 121 regional people were paired together.

You ought to be able to give up half your passes though and make one of your outlaws an unlimited passrider as if they were one of your parents. The other outlaw would have to use one of your remaining buddy passes. Hope that helps

No they are not. You can interview without it and upon CJO must apply for a RAP.

On the 75/76 in Lax is a reserve doing mostly east coast red eyes?

The bid package for September shows a JFK departure as part of a brutal 5 day trip almost daily at 22:35 with a few IAD and ORD departures spread throughout the month around the same departure time. My best guess would be a yes. Small base, only 66 F/O's so buyer beware.

That waffle house got some entertaining people at all hours.

Over the course of about a year I saw; a bullet going through one of the top floors of the crown from a drive by at the Louisiana Bistro, 3 employee car thefts, scattered shell casings on the sidewalk, and the room over yell “We’ll see how you feel about that when I get my gun” after an argument.

I considered sleeping in the bathtub.

Meanwhile one person out of the 2,000 new hires and 12,000+ Recurrents gets mugged in a parking lot near TK and people act like their car is going to end up on blocks or they’re going to be murdered for their new balances. 😂

Can confirm Virgina Ave. is a different world. Terrifying walk across the street to FS to say the least. Every instructor assigned to me had a story about either being mugged or observing someone getting mugged over the years

Matter of opinion really.

I brought my family to training, along with my car, never felt stressed about training and we spent plenty of time exploring Denver

Back when I went to ATL for 135 training at that FSI there I never had an ounce of knowledge of how dangerous that area was. We stayed at the Drury there and would go to that Waffle House and the Irish pub behind it (great pork chops) all the time. After switching to 121 and learning more about it I don't miss it at all.

Is it correct that the Lax 75/76 there is no global reserve? Im guessing mostly just transcons and not much international?

LAX and SFO are both basic (non-global) fleets on the 75/76 with zero international flying with some limited flying to Hawaii. You will see lots of EWR, JFK, ORD, BOS and MCO.
