Yes, you can add them later.

Ok thanks. I was 99% sure that was the case but after spending an hour getting my flight times in I got paranoid.

Turbine time is a key to get a call from UAL. I don't know what minimum threshold is for the turbine time but have seen people received cjos with under 2k total time.

Fingers crossed, my total time is low, no degree but I’m about to hit 2k turbine.

Might be a dumb question, but does United want every aircraft (with hours listed for each), under the flight time section of the application, all the way back to initial training for your private?

Short answer… Yes.

Longer answer, how much attention to detail and effort do you want to show? Your app is their first impression of you.

FWIW I have nearly 60 aircraft types in my logbook. I have tons of time in some. Not so much in others, but they were all listed one by one.

Hiring has never been like this in history. Don’t let it pass you by by going easy on yourself. Good luck!

I gotta say, the best thing I ever did was buy a nice bottle of something and spend a long weekend digitizing all my old logbooks. Now the flight time portion in apps only takes an hour or two instead of a week.

You do! Good luck! I consider this forum to be like a UAL Wannabe support group. We’re all here to support each other and push each other the extra mile haha. You got this! Don’t skimp now.

Also, I agree with Rolo above. Going electronic about 10 years ago was the best thing I ever did. It took a lot of work to convert everything over, but it’s been easy street since then.
