The company is choosing to look at the other way on issues that in the past made one completely Unhireable. So if somebody is getting a rejection letter, I can’t even fathom how the interview must’ve gone, or what skeletons are hiding in their closet.

Just a heads up, it seems like pilots with spotless records wanting United are having the most difficulty being hired. Maybe they want that one failure on record to see how you react. Idk, but I’ve read this enough and know for a fact United has hired pilots recently who straight up failed out of training at a previous gig. That just doesn’t take one failure.

Nobody has a perfect interview. You stumbled on a single question and they sent you packing? I wouldn’t be too upset, the huge hiring wave at United has already progressed, you’d be sitting in the back of the pack for a long time anyways.

I preferred UAL over the other two due to the larger wb aircraft but at this time 1.5 years have passed and I have moved up quite a bit where I am that I’m staying. Out of 5 airlines I’ve interviewed in my career UAL hands down was the most arrogant and didn’t make me feel like myself. Interview experience varies depending which interviewer you get.

This is probably the dumest post ever posted on APC. Congrats on being awarded the trophy for the biggest dumba55/BS post on APC.

This is a load of crap. I interviewed with United last Oct. I was given the TBNT. It really upset me but I didn't let it ruin my career. Interviewed at AA 2 weeks letter with a CJO.. And interviewed at DAL earlier this year with a CJO. Just because you fail doesn't mean to stop trying. I'm happy where I'm at. Made it to a legacy after 3.5 years at a regional. Is United still my number 1? Yes. Will I reapply after October prob not as it just wouldn't be worth it. Obviously things change and so could my tune.

Do like a jilted buddy of mine did after 2.5yrs at AA, UAL finally called. He set up interview and used the PS ticket to go skiing.

I got an email from United recruiting team about stopping at their booth at lpa expo. Does anyone think meeting the chiefs events would be able to bypass the year long wait until you are eligible to reapply?
