Summary of UAL pilot hiring & career advice
 

I was curious if anyone has any detailed information on the stats of pilots hired at UAL?

-Civilian vs Military
-hours
-where civilian are hired from (i.e. Skywest, envoy, PSA, part 91/135....etc.)

I'm thinking about making the jump from the 91/135 world into 121 regional in order to get the 121 training box checked. A huge pay cut for sure but could be worth it if I could get hired sooner with a legacy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as to whether it's necessary or which would be the best regional from which all the legacy carriers are hiring from.

2014 info. I know of some people who were hired out of the 91/135 world, but I have yet to see that info included anywhere.

Nice info graphic, thanks!

So it is 8% women or 9%? The number shows 9%, but there are only 8 of the 100 figures shown in red. Maybes its really 8.5% and we have to average the two. Or maybe one is transgender.

Awesome thanks! I'm guessing that the number of guys hired 91/135 is less than 1%. Not very good odds......also, why does UAL not hire From Endeavor?

It's a long story but they are blacklisted.

Just kidding. (Hint: PCL = Endeavor)

FWIW, if you are interested in Endeavor why not just apply there and progress directly to DAL?

DAL would be good, but I don't want to wait through the whole seniority list to get an interview with DAL. Do guys over there get interviews out of seniority?

Also, I think that the UAL culture might be a better fit for me. My plan for the regionals would be to get in and out as fast as possible. I would already be coming in with ample PIC jet and total time flying heavy business jets. So my hope would be that getting recent 121 experience would help my chances significantly at any of the Legacy carriers.

If you want to fly 121 mainline, bite the bullet and join the 121 world, no matter how crummy the first step.

Don't sell yourself short. Try Frontier, Spirit, JetBlue and Virgin along with the regionals. I know 91/135 guys that have been hired there.

There have been 91/135 pilots hired at United, Delta, American, Southwest, FedEx and UPS this year.

The key to differentiating yourself among a sea of qualified applications & resumes is...wait for it...NETWORKING.

Just like in the 91/135 world.
