Her successor, R.V. I believe continued the policy till hiring stopped/9-11 IIRC.

Not sure if it was still in effect during the 2007/8 hiring.

Wasn't the 2007/2008 "hiring" just repatriating furloughees or were there actual new hires?

Very small world. Your mom is hands down the most professional and friendly FA I have ever had the pleasure to meet. My wife and I still think back to how incredible her service and attitude was. Will PM you later about the original topic later on.
Haha, now this also sounds familiar to me with the son pilot thing.

Does she commute from, if I remember, PHX?

If so, small world again...I was a jumpseater on MEL-SYD a couple years ago.

After the last furloughees were recalled in mid-2007 a couple hundred pilots were hired off the street in 2007-2008.

I was a mentor in the United Sons/Daughters program. I hope it comes out of dormancy. I can give some guidance for those who have someone looking to see how to prep.

Me: What is "any dang thing in medical?"
Alex Trebek: Correct! And Block30 takes a commanding lead....!

Personally, I'm sick of management's and chief pilot's kids flying here.
