By all means show us what other major airline pilot groups did for fellow pilots from failing airlines like when Eastern went under or when they bought Pan Am/TWA routes. That's right, nothing.

And how many Pan Am pilots got jobs at Delta? How many Pan Am Captains held onto their left seats?

As a United pilot I am excited that many Spirit pilots are coming to United. Many of these pilots walked the walk when they successfully struck Spirit in a brilliantly organized action. All of these pilots from these other airlines have strengthened United and our pilot group.

i didn’t say it wasn’t real. I said it wasn’t relevant. HR is doing what’s best for united.

But there are also factors at play like whose regional you fly for that you didn’t mention.


it’s tough for everyone right now. 7000+ hours. 1300 tpic 757/767 type and had the app in for a year and nothing. 8 letters of rec. 4 internal. Cp meet and greet 10 months ago.

Milton,

Your times look competitive, but there might be something in your app. At this stage of the process you’re applying to a computer, not a human being, so something could be causing it to overlook you. My advice would be to spend a few $$ at your preferred interview prep company for an application review and see if that gets things moving.

All the best,
E

I had it looked at once at the beginning of the year and then about a month ago by RST. if anyone is having better success with another company I'm all ears. Thanks in advance.

Charlie at Checked and Set. RST was the biggest waste of money.

To be fair, Delta pilots thought they were too good to let anyone else fly for them back then. For years they wouldn’t even let anyone else ride their Jumpseat (while fully utilizing others). True story.
