For the mil folks, keep the faith! I'm mil, so it appears they do still love us! After waiting almost a year I got an email from AA and UA in the same week.
So the initial contact is now email?
What does it say?
Congrats!

Thanks! It appears so...

Basically says we're excited about offering you the opportunity to continue with the hiring process. Says you should get the Hogan email in a few days, and if you're no longer interested, please let them know.

BTW, check your spam folders for the address: [email protected]

I saw this at an interview elsewhere. Says to me they simply don't want the job. There's literally no other way to look at this than too cheap to buy a suit. I can't even imagine showing up in something besides a suit.

Can you give a ballpark on an hour range she said was low?

Or too poor to afford a new suit if they dont have one anymore for whatever reason.

Are we reaching the bottom of the barrel already? Note to interviewees: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES wear anything but a suit and tie to the interview.

Is this meant for the AA hiring thread? Not sure if United does a rack and stack like the AA.PC system does.

From what I've heard from a friend in indoc, there is a rack and stack done before emails go out. Could be wrong though. Sounds like some emails were sent out though so good news.

I was the only "current" mil guy in my class, not counting the retired returnees. None of the Guard/Reserve guys I know have been called. In fact they've been saying UA is kind of an unknown...valid.

One issue affecting guard/reserve hiring could be the recent litigation that UAL went through with MIL leave pilots. There is a significant added cost to have MIL leave pilots on the books (PDAP while on leave is a big one) When given the choice of a non-MIL qualified pilot and a MIL pilot that will be taking Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th of July etc off for the rest of their career for "duty" it makes the decision easier. This is a bottom line business and the added cost is surely baked into the pie. In addition to the fact there are so many qualified regional pilots that have experience in airline flying could be a big reason there might not be as many MIL pilots getting called as before.
And isn't this illegal? To not select or hire someone based on the fact they are still active in the reserves?
