Since early last month or so it's just been phone calls.

You're looking for a call from 303 area code. Good luck, it's agonizing I know!

FYI my initial call came from a 310 (SoCal) area code.

Is anyone getting called without a 4 year? I see they only prefer one, not require.

Short answer: Nope.

Long answer: If you are the nephew of a system chief pilot, have a very solid background, a spotless record, and photos of the CEO with a goat you might be able to squeak through. Otherwise, this the is the front side of the hiring wave and UAL has thousands of applications with the same, or better qualifications, and the 4-year degree box checked. UAL can be very selective at this point.

Any idea how deep the pool is?

Which one?

The one with folks that have been offered a job but have not been assigned a class is very shallow. With the small acceptance to recall numbers I suspect that there will be some very short notice class date offers to keep the training pipeline full.

The one with all the applications on file hoping for an interview is getting deeper by the minute.

Are you part of the hiring process cadetdrivr?

Has anyone heard of just your average regional captain with a few internal recs, a 4 year degree and +/-2,000 hours of PIC getting the call yet? All I've heard so far seems like they're still calling the LCA's, mil IP's and former interns.

Also, a few pages back, they were talking about a CP whose LOR could be the "kiss of death" but no one would name names. Could someone at least post his initials?

Nope.

But I do have certain contacts. The information I shared was current "as of" last week when I directly spoke to an individual in that department---so it's probably obsolete by now. ;)

Has anyone who interviewed in the last week heard anything yet? If I sweat anymore, I might disappear :)
