TBNT Letters, etc.
 

Preface with I have not applied to United yet. Let's say I apply, and get a TBNT sort of reply. What does this response actually say? Is there a 'apply again in 6 months' sort of clause? Or do you only really have one big shot?

You can’t reapply (app is locked) for exactly one year. Ask me how I know…

About once a month I go in and try to log into my app just to see. But it remains locked

How long has it been for you?

I interviewed last November

You mean to say that you've not researched the operation, intend to apply, and don't know the terms?

A clause?

How often do you prefer to be rejecred?

Anyone who has been rejected in today’s climate may want to think about a career change. If you can’t make it past an interview right now, you may have some serious deficiencies. I have flown with new hires with questionable personalities, multiple DUIs, arrest records, and multiple checkride failures. 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.

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

United has always been my dream airline. I have a completely clean flying/legal record and I prepped hard for my interview. But I told one bad story and that was it. My mistake, and I can 100% own it. But a career change, really? Here’s an interesting perspective. I also interviewed at Delta and there were FIVE United guys there. I got the job, and 3 of them didn’t. Should those guys consider a career change too?

let’s try this way…. Who cares? Apply, if you get rejected apply somewhere else. If you really want to fly for United try again later. Who knows how long it will be. They change this stuff all the time.

believe it or not Delta started calling people that failed the Psych review and asked them to reapply. Used to be you were banned for life.

the only constant is change. What is true today can change tomorrow.

worry about things that matter.

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.
