Well, since the new iPads were supposed to be deployed by now, not surprised UAL misses another time line.

And, no, no word for me either way.

Do you guys really think you were applying for this job? I bet those positions were already spoken for and the application process was just going through the motions. Every time we go to these required training programs BET, Fuel 1 and 2, Safety Stand Downs, it's always the same people doling out the info.

FWIW on another board a guy-who-knows-a-guy who flew with an FO who is going to training for this assignment. So the people may have already been notified.

Yep, I agree. I was hoping that maybe something had changed. Oh well.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who met an iPad trainer at 31 Flavors last night said they already picked the people.

So I guess that's official.

(Name the movie)

Dear David,

Thank you for your application for the iPad Deployment Special Assignment position. We wanted to provide you with closure regarding this particular opportunity.

Please know that you were part of an extremely competitive candidate pool and our decision was a difficult one. At this time candidates have been selected whose background and experience best meets our needs for these positions.

We sincerely appreciate your interest, time and participation in our hiring process. We encourage you to continue reviewing Flying Together for future career opportunities that best meet your knowledge, skills, and abilities. If I can be of assistance to you at any time in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected].

Best regards,
Chad

Uhh uhh....I wonder how they made their selections. Not that I'm disappointed, but my qualifications are pretty good, and can't imagine too many others better qualified. Maybe another friends of Fred program?

Maybe I'm overthinking this, maybe it's as simple as they're too cheap to pay a captain for what they consider an F/O job....
