Half of my new hire class (myself included) were military retirees. Tons of us getting hired. Got a bro with an interview this month.

You'll get here too. Wish I could say when. If not, it won't be because of being military retired.
No ones doubting they hire military retirees. It's the guys still in the guard and reserve not getting calls

I've been here almost 29 years and I have seen what you guys do to your sked.
Now, I'll wait for all the protests saying "I've never sharp-shooted the system; I only go to reserves on my days off" What a joke!
Things have changed since 1985! Talk to those guys and see what current AFRC/ANG pilots are doing.

P.S. In case you forgot, we are conducting combat operations still! And have been for over 13 years!

Misperception. I have 2 guard/reserve friends hired in the past 2 weeks.

5-6 of my buddies from various ANG units have gotten the call in the last 3-4 months.

Hypothesis: the M&G system may not yield an interview opportunity like it used to under the former HR?

Thanks. KJCRJ

You're not alone, I had a successful CP M&G in March of this year and haven't been called. I have 5 other internal recommendations and two job fairs. A similarly qualified guy I know who did his M&G the same day is in A320 school right now so I apparently don't have the right score.

Hi all,

I have an upcoming interview and was wondering if United is actually calling personal references. I would like to able to tell my friends if they should expect a call.

Thanks.

10,000+ TT - 6,000+ TPIC - LCP - CP M&G - lots of internal recs.
