We are hiring candidates with less than 3k but they hit multiple other high achievements. For example they weren’t just Certified Flight Instructions but worked themselves into lead positions at well know 141 universities, part of the recruitment team at said regional, etc. Even most the Delta Propels who have CJO’s from Delta before they show up to initial training at their first regional surpass 3k including some TPIC before they go to training in Atlanta.

If some of those stats are true, United obviously has lowered the bar greatly for a specific pilot group. I find it odd that United has claimed more than anyone of utilizing less of their regional feed yet they’re by far the largest discriminator of hiring candidates from their own regional feed. Delta has continued to hire from their DCI network yet they’ve stated they want to keep the DCI networks stable at all costs.

Just ask SK, HR at Willis, or anyone else involved with Aviate. After all, we've got an expensive training department!! Just be quiet and let them work their magic. To quote a famous American, "ain't nobody got time for that!" Well, perhaps TK does.

Say, I fancy myself to be a "prominent relaxation social influencer". Think I should re-apply?
