Tpic 4 hours ☺️

Attended LPA event last year
application in more than a year and update it 60-90 days.

Are TPIC hours high priority for United?

The majors never lost their taste for dodo meat. But it ran out. So they started hiring people without TPIC.
There are now a large and growing number of candidates with significant TPIC. And they are getting preferentially hired which hasn't changed, just the number of candidates to which it applied. Plenty of guys with your specs got hired in 2022. Different market now.
if I had to guess ... another 1000 hours of 320 SIC won't materially change the situation - partially because it just won't and partially because the regionals will generate that many hundred more captains with 1000 TPIC in that time. I think the DEC ship has sailed but I haven't followed things in great detail. Getting some heavy/intl with an ACMI might look good also.

60-90 day updates mean you're not interested compared to everyone else who is updating regularly... update at least monthly. Get some (4) LORs and get to another job fair. Unless you're in the furlough zone would not recommend you make backwards career moves to regionals (makes people wonder did you get fired?) or even ACMI. Take the upgrade at your current shop, become a sim instructor, union volunteer etc. to boost your application.

"Backwards" to Regional, historically I would agree. ~IF~ there are still big $$ DEC offers, that is different. ACMI vs flailing ULCC isn't black and white.
Take the upgrade could be a long time depending on the shop.
Union volunteer etc is window dressing that helps you stand out among people with otherwise similar stats. It's not gonna fix the fundamental problem that he's a lowish time FO in a market now full of captains.

I agree, ULCC to Regional is backwards.

How does UA view ACMI pilots?

I'd be interested to know why you think this. I'll make the CRJ's case, especially for the 200:
- Unsynced fans, no fadec or engine monitor.
- No autothrust / throttle, no stall protection.
- Lots of flying out of radar coverage / outside of tower hours into CTAFs with high amounts of local traffic.
- More involved go arounds and V1 cuts, harder MVs as a result, even though that's subjective.
- Unsynced fans, no fadec or engine monitor.
- No autothrust / throttle, no stall protection.
