35 or so years ago most new hires were under 30 some airlines would not even look at applicant over 30 But that only applied to the “trunk” carriers like UAL, AMR, EAL, TWA, BNF, etc. “Local Service” carriers like Allegheny, Ozark, North Central were less choosy and more flexible who they hired. Even the trunks went through their own little burble, and hired very low time people at the end of the 60’s. They even advertised in Flying and other magazines. Of course, all those pilots went to engineer seats, and most, if not all, were furloughed by 1972. |

Exactly, doing the bleed panel from push to delayed engine start and a bleeds off takeoff feels just like driving home from the employee lot in stop and go traffic
Now, a manual tranny takes a bit more study. |

I seriously don’t understand the perceived complexity of the 737 overhead panel. It’s literally a few hour process to “get”, and then a total afterthought forever after.

Saw this question posted elsewhere and thought this would be a good discussion for it…..With the absurd hiring boom + majors changing 1000 turbine from required to preferred, what are the lower 121 turbine times you’ve heard people getting interviews at UA with? I’ve heard 750 turbine routinely. Anything under that?

Not sure about total time, but in my 7 years as a CA @ this airline, the experience/quality of our newer pilots is noticably not as it good as it was pre COVID.

I’m not at United but had a kid in my JS 2 months ago that was at F9 with a class date at United. He had 1900tt and 350 turbine when he interviewed at United.
