I highly recommend emerald coast for interview prep and FTI in Denver for the sim prep. Well worth the money. The hiring board meets wednesdays (or fridays on occasion) to go over interviews from the previous week (not including mon, tues, weds of the current week). So, good calls/bad emails usually go out weds-fri for interviews from the previous week. Good luck!

Have any calls gone out this week for interviews?

Airbus is certainly a possibility going forward. There were unfilled vacancies in IAH and JFK on the last LUAL equipment bid prior to SLI and I strongly suspect the same will occur with the current open bid. Reports indicate that the Airbus fleet is increasing staffing for an anticipated increase in training going forward.
The Airbus bases are currently IAD (includes DCA), JFK (inc. LGA), ORD, DEN, SFO (inc. SJC), IAH, and LAX. |
My opinion only and not official info:
Most of the new hires will be 73 iah and ewr. Maybe a few a320 in the near future as there were some unfilled vacancies for this plane in jfk,ord,iah and iad I think New hires going the the 756 will be few and far between for a while at least. |
How junior is SFO looking?
|
If you are awarded the the 737 out of your new hire class how long do you have to stay in that type? How long is the seat lock?

Junior 73 fo in sfo is 11989out of 12600 or so pilots
No seat lock if going to bigger plane (i.e. 73 to 75/76) |

When I was offered the job last month I specifically asked them about bases and type. I was told most new hires till feb/mar should be 73 ewr/Iah and come November a few 756 ewr. The 320 slots would be in spring unless guys from furlough are coming back to that aircraft. As we all know crew planning changes everyday so take what I was told with a grain of salt. I just hope for ewr...:)
FWIW, all new-hire training on the 737 with bases in EWR/IAH was the plan---and is one that UAL is still pursuing to a certain extent. However, ALPA is also rightfully holding the company's feet to the fire and has reminded the company that new-hires must be placed in unfilled vacancies from equipment awards and not just where the company has convenient near-term training capacity. There should be another equipment bid opening very soon that will provide some insight into the future bases/fleets for new-hires. In fact, line pilots are being told to expect monthly equipment bids for the foreseeable future. Stay tuned. |

However, one can change bases as many times as desired on the same equipment (i.e. "a lateral"). (Example: EWR 737 FO to ORD 737 FO to SFO 737 FO.) A pilot may move up to larger equipment at any time regardless of a freeze. (example: 737 FO to 757/767 FO). A pilot cannot go from the 737 to the A320 for two years because of the freeze. Here's the contract reference: 8-D-1-d An Equipment training freeze shall not restrict a Pilot in a lower–numbered Equipment/pay band from being awarded a vacancy in a higher-numbered Equipment/pay band, pursuant to the bands described below: 1) 321/320/319FO, 737FO 2) 767/757FO 3) 747FO, 777FO, 787FO, 350FO 4) 321/320/319CA, 737CA 5) 767/757CA 6) 747CA, 777CA, 787CA, 350CA |

I had a 2 year lock from my 737 training last Sept 2012. I can bid the Airbus in Sept 2014 and will incur another 2 year freeze if I do that. |

So, anyone get called for an interview recently?

Is a class C misdemeanor for underage drinking in 1992 while at college attending a 4 year aviation program in Indiana a show stopper? Otherwise, corporate background, clean record, 1 failed check ride (instrument initial successfully taken 2 days later), 7000TT, 3200TJ PIC, 4 type ratings (CL300, HS125, BE400, CE500). Don't know anyone who works there. Disadvantage of coming from the corporate side of things. Happily employed at this point. However, in corporate aviation you never know. I am just interested to see if I even have a shot. Thanks.

They are not looking for perfect people but they are on the lookout for those with multiple events that could be evidence of a undesirable trend. I guarantee the interview Captain sitting across the table has something in his past that was a "learning opportunity." ;) |
Thank you for the response Cadetdrivr. As a side note, the evening I received the unfortunate misdemeanor was the same night I met/walked my wife home of now almost 21 years.
|
BD100;
Tell that to the HR nazi interviewing you. Great story. They are also looking for humility and self-deprecation. |
Anyone getting calls recently? I just got the first call to confirm info this week. Will do my online assessment tomorrow... Just wondering how quickly things are moving from phone call to (potential) interview to (potential) hiring and then class date. Here's hoping...
|
Interview within 2-3 weeks of the initial call, class dates about 3 months after getting hired is what my friends tell me.

I know I would have loved this information yesterday: First HR call- Aug 27, 2013 Took Hogan- Aug 28 Called to schedule interview- Aug 28 Interview date (Denver)- Sept 4 Invited into the pool- Sept 11 (last 4 of social starts with 8) Conditional offer letter- Sept 12 Call for invitation to ground school- Oct 18 Need to get to Houston for fingerprints, paperwork, and pee by- Nov 5 Going to first available ground school- Nov 16 Was told to expect (not guaranteed) 737 EWR Schedule starts on Sat (Nov 16) to accommodate Thanksgiving. 5 on, 2 off, 4 on, Thanksgiving. Basic Indoc. will be in Denver, 737 training (most likely) will be in Houston. Ditto for me and others that I know. Good luck |
Question, does United require a 4 year degree, to apply? I can't find it on the Airline Apps website. Thank you in advance.

What is the possibility of getting IAD out of initial training?
|
Pretty good. Might be 737, more likely A320.
|
Share-A-Sim?
Can't seem to find availability to do a sim prep for interview. Waiting to hear from FTI. Inches meantime, I'll throw this out there. Is there anyone who has sim time with Emerald Coast the week of Nov. 4th that might be willing to split time? ECI requires a 2 hour minimum. Not even sure if they would be amenable, but thought I'd see if anyone out there wanted to reduce costs first. Then I'll propose it with ECI... In lieu of that scenario, anyone got any other ideas for 737 sim prep?
|
Just passing this on from a friend. He was at the job fair this week and was told that this weeks class will have l-ual 320 and 756 JFK/ewr this week...he also said from here on out it will probably be that as well..737 ewr/Iah or the above but mostly east coast ny or Iah 73...again just passing 2nd word stuff
