Congrats on the CJO! I was under the impression that the review board met, and offers went out, on Friday evenings. Do you know why it took until Monday to get the offer?
I was expecting to hear news Friday anyway, so it made for a long weekend. Heh. |

Usually leads to the hogan. I received the hogan email exactly 5 days after my app locked.

To my understanding they do this because, during the days of airlineapps, they would have people put in stellar qualifications just to trigger an app pull and then after taking the hogan and getting an interview they would re-enter their real qualifications. Less intelligent applicants did this not realizing that UAL can see all the changes they’ve made to their app (or, at least they were hoping they didn’t get caught). So, applicants would apparently get a little sweaty in the interview when they were asked how they were a chief pilot, check airman, military test pilot with a Ph.D, three space shuttle landings and 8000 hours of multi-turbine PIC at the time of initial application, but now come interview time, their app indicated that they were a college dropout with an online associates degree and only 2500TT with 50 turbine PIC in a caravan.

App Questions
I am filling out my application on the United website. I have a few questions:
1) Driving Record: I have lived in 3 different states over the past 20 years. I know I have received a few speeding tickets here and there but really do not remember the particulars (dates especially). I did an online record search for 2 of the states and neither came back with any information on past infractions... Do I make up dates to try and reflect what I believe is there? 2) I entered my total time and the calculated number the website came up with is 1/2 of what I get using a calculator. Has anyone else run into this? 3) Some of the aircraft I entered time for asked if I was "type-rated" but were clearly airplanes that do not require a type rating. Am I misunderstanding the question? One example is the Beechcraft BE-95, a piston-twin. 4) Part 91 vs Part 61 flight time. All of my training except for my private pilot license was done through a 142 school. If any of that time was for a pilot rating should I put it as Part 61? |

For example, every time I would enter a date for a start date for my educational history, it would default to another date a month in the future. Not sure if something similar is happening with your hours. |
Has anyone who had a meet and greet at Women in Aviation heard anything yet? Any frozen apps out there?

To echo what others have said, recently, I'm concerned about flight times calculated in the app versus what's shown in my logbook. Is the hiring board aware of this? I'm second guessing whether I should even submit an application because of this. I certainly don't want to look incompetent in the interview process

Yes their app has issues since you can log PIC and dual received at the same time. It totals it wrong. Answer truthfully and submit ASAP.
That said, I found that the issue with the totals (at least on my app) was with the total dual time. My dual time added up short no matter how many times I went back and totaled it manually. My total time was also short by the exact amount that my dual received was short. So, the issue seems to be in the program when totaling your dual received time. It added up where it was truly important though… My total = pic + sic + instructor + dual. It just added up to less than I actually have. Eventually, you hit a point where a couple hundred hours didn’t really matter. So, I didn’t sweat it. Got the CJO and it was never mentioned. |
What is the hiring process like? After you submit your application is there a cognitive test to take in order to make it to the interview? I did one back in the day for a different program and it was pretty difficult and I didn’t make it to the interview. Additionally, approximately what TT is United looking for when hiring from LCCs?
