Greetings! I am new to APC forums and would request some latest info about United hiring. I am currently an A330 F/O at Etihad and looking to return to the US. I don't have any Jet PIC time, however have A320 and A330 SIC time & a total of 7 Thousand hours. If I send my app to United, can I expect a call from them or do they prefer guys with mostly PIC time? Any info would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

There isn't any one type of pilot United is targeting. My class had it all: supplemental guys like me, military, RJ drivers, mid-majors, younger, older, lots of time, not so much time, all PIC, no PIC, white, black, brown, male, female. Apply, get some LORs, and go to a hiring event if you can swing it. 7000TT would put you right in the middle of the pack in my class.

I'm being told to 'expect' 23 August and latest intelligence is that the class invite could go out as early
as late next week. I had to defer a earlier spring class and that invite came almost exactly a month prior. Good luck.

Good luck getting out of the sand box!

what would you do if given the option...start right away with Delta..or wait for the November start at United? Assume commuting either way.

Start Delta now and decide 2 weeks prior to United's class date.

Always take the first class......everything could implode tomorrow. When UA calls make the decision. However keep in mind that United maybe the place to be today but this time last year we were the last major anyone wanted. Everything is cyclical.
