I would say after seeing the number of people getting called and getting to view some of their quals including people I know personally, it is all over the place. I can't understand the lack of contact for me as well.

I thought it may be currency, but I personally know 3-4 furloughed guys that haven't flown anything in over 6 months or more get hired.

I thought it may be TPIC time and we all know that story

I thought it may be lack of Job Fair attendance but many hired id not attend even one and many ta have attended every single one this year have not heard anything.

I though 4 year degree but then I know of 1 hired and 1 recently called for interview.

All in all I think there is a strong element of luck involved at this point and I don't think there is any one things that kills it, other than the fact that you are a complete jerk to a recruiter that you meet.

But then again, I may know nothing seeing how I haven't been contacted yet either.

Seriously? They have 11,000 apps on file, they've hired maybe 200 guys, interviewed maybe 3-400 and because your phone wasn't the first to ring it's all a big PC screw job directed at you?

BYOB I've yet to hear of anyone without a 4 year degree getting called, doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

Were the 600 recalls announced today included in the hiring plans?

They need to find out who's coming back and who is not before they put any more fresh bodies in the schoolhouse.

I do not know of ANYONE hired lately without a 4 year degree. However last year when CAL was "interviewing" in the IAH Chief Pilots office...aka friends of Fred and Daddy Scab, some did fall through the cracks without one.

My recommendation is get the most education and flight time you can and keep your application up to date. Check Airman, IP,Stan Eval guy, etc... the more the better!

Anyone know when united prints the apps in prep for our interviews? I've had to make a few changes because my times weren't adding up ... Got it now, but they are a little different than last week...

Tonne,
They are normally printed out the morning of the interview but sometimes the day before.

Why all the talk about arrest records? Doesn't the app ask for convictions? The (ar)rest would come out in the background check, after the interview.
