Competitive Hours?
 

Just a quick question if I stand any chance at getting a call from United if I apply. I have around 5,000 hours 1,500 of it is PIC heavy time in the 767-300 and I have no degree. Thanks for any input.

It's a crapshoot again at this point with hiring slowing down all over. Definitely more competitive now than it has been the last two years. But I'd imagine you'd get a call.

Nobody knows, but it looks like you meet all the minimums and your chances are zero until you apply.

Hiring under the normal program seems to have stopped dead in its tracks at least until United and Boeing figure out what the 73 and 78 delivery schedule will look like, or what any airbus order sheet and delivery schedule will look like. That means the pool of qualified applicants will be deeper than it has been recently, so that will change the math on what is competitive or not. You won’t know how competitive your overall application is until you apply and get a CJO or wait forever for an interview. People have been hired without a degree but that seems like the biggest box you haven’t checked yet, so hopefully you can make up some points elsewhere in your application.

Agreed. If you had a degree, I would say you would have no issue with being called. You could still get called without a degree, but it’s a much lower chance.

Try getting a hitting coach job with the Rockies, you'll get a call in NO TIME.

1. Contact Cage Marshall Consulting. Have them do your resume, give you interview prep. Ensure your FAA Class-1 is valid/current

2. Go to the next job fair coming up. PAPA will be the "next" event, in June. https://www.asianpilots.org/events

3. ^^^ consider volunteering at the job fair

The above will likely result in at least an invite to an interview. NO INTERVIEWS are happening CURRENTLY, FYI. At United.

I was in TK yesterday and interviews are indeed still happening. Talked to some of the candidates myself. I've no clue how far classes are already filled, but interviews are definitely happening as of today.

I mean, THE thing that gets bandied about over and over is 1000hr 121 TPIC. You got that. 5000 hours isn't 10 but it's substantial. The college thing ... hard to know how that is shaking out ... the world is not awash in 1000TPIC guys applying to the majors. But what do you lose by applying?

Of course you do. Have your application professionally reviewed and meet them at a job fair.
