Its the same story.... The 8000 to 10000 are the exact same pilots applications USairways, Delta, Fedex, SWA etc have...... Not like there's 40000 of us and only a 1/5 applied at UAL...... Once it picks up those numbers and the quality will drop quickly I think....

Friend of mine had an interview and was hired within the last month. She was not an intern & did not have an interview, or interview scheduled in 08 (or whenever they stopped hiring).

Before anyone makes any judgement cause I know its comin, lol, she is great girl and a better stick than the majority of CA's I flew with

But I bet she was a scholarship candidate. I saw several pilots who were interviewing this week and all of them are "considered" special candidates, ie....interns, type rating scholarships stc.....

There has not been one applicant called from off the street unless they have some background mentioned above.

True, she was...and all of the other candidates with interviews this week and next that I have heard of are type rating scholarship recipients as well. No interns yet that I know of, but I could be wrong about that.

Every year they award scholarships for B-737 type ratings. I believe you write an essay either on a pre-determined subject or why you deserve it etc....

Interesting. Do these "scholarship pilots" have competitive time and experience when they interview at United?
