And yes SE, I should have been more specific in my question. I mean of course after my 12 months is up.
Of course I am working with inside connections intensively to make it happen when the time comes, but I was just curious what has occurred in the past hiring cycles at United.
Thanks again.

Yep, and the numbers/stats I'm familiar with are the pre 9/11 ones. And YES, we ALL KNOW that was a while ago and things have changed.
But back then, the average was 1 in 10-12 got the nod the first time around. If a guy was invited back for another shot, the odds went to 50-50 shot.

How much weight do LORs from current United pilots help in the selection process? Is it safe to assume out of the 10,000 or so applications on file, that a great majority of them has LORs on file and that it really is no help to have one at this point in the game.

So my chances of getting a call went from slightly, to nil. If pilots like yourself can't get a call, an average Joe like myself has no chance. Trying to be optimistic but it can get discouraging.

Look at people that are getting calls. They run from the extremely well connected, very experienced guys to the very average joe with only a few recs and in the 3-4000 hour range. I am certainly not giving up hope even though I only have one internal rec. I keep updating my app. and keep working the networking. Hopefully it will all work out.

I only had two internals and absolutely nothing special on my resume. I just kept going to job fairs and eventually it worked out. Don't lose hope! I had the lowest quals out of all the guys I interviewed with.
