Initial email Feb 27
Hogan Mar 7 (9 days, took it next day)
Call for interview Mar 16
Interview Mar 18*
Call from BK Mar 25 around 1500 MTN time

*initially 27 Apr but Kristin emailed me with Wed at 0800 because I was going to be overseas with the Military

2300ish TT
120 TPIC (mostly C130)
800ish in the RJ @ Skw
Just short of Master's @ERAU (typical 4.0) Human Factors
Safety background and former LOSA observer
App in since Mar 2011, 6 LOR (all UA internals), meet and greet w CP
I'm 35 and my SSN is low 2000s. No idea how those play in yet, new to the forums.

It's still surreal this is happening. I get back from overseas mid Apr so that might delay my class date for the drug screen. We'll see.

Cheers to all the new hires and future hires!

in the next 10 years. However, the latest forecast from Manpower Planning calls for us
to hire 1,040 pilots this year.
Through March 31, we have welcomed into Basic Indoc Training 18 pilots returning
from furlough, 20 returning from leave of absence and 240 new hires for a total of 278
pilots.
Impressive numbers! Any idea if that will maintain the target through 2016 as well? I think retirements pick up slightly next year as well.

I have a question regarding airline apps:

United's addendum section asks for 4 references that LIVE within the United States that can cover, as best as possible, the last 10 year period of my life. However, I've only lived in the states for 8 months. I have plenty of good Canadian references that I can use.

My question is: Should I try and provide 4 references of US residents even though it will only cover the past 8 months? Or should I use references that live in Canada? Surely HR would understand this scenerio?

Got the call Wed at 440P Mountain Time.
Interviewed Mar 26.
Told to expect 19 or 26 May class.
According to Airline Apps:
4459 Total
2840 PIC
All military (C130 and GIV)

Overseas so trying to figure out DOT drug testing options.

Hoping for the 19 May class but will take whatever, just happy to be in.

First off, congrats to everyone getting calls for class!!..... For those of us still waiting for an interview invite, it seems as though its been pretty quite on that front lately. One would think they would be sending out a lot right now considering the recent bump in this years hiring numbers.....On a related note, anyone heard anything that went to WAI early last month?

I received an email stating thanks for the visit at WIA and please be patient with the selection process. It came from the United airline apps email address on March 17th. Anybody else hear something like this? Am I in the selection process?
