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.

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?

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.

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.
