Pilot interview
Can anyone tell me the secret to getting an interview at United other than filling out an Application on AirlineApps.com?
|
How long ago did you fill it out? They usually call you 4 weeks after you submit your app.
Seriously have you read any of the other threads on this subject?? Your question will be answered (or rather, not answered) ad nauseam. Good luck |
I update it every 3 months

Update AT LEAST once a month. |
The secret these days is acquiring a rec from a chief pilot. Other than that, it's anybody's guess.
Good luck! |
One of the most disheartening and motivating things about trying to get on with a legacy is that there are a 4000+ people that look just like you on paper. Go to a career fair and stand in line with harrier pilots, guys with 15,000 hrs, and regional guys that have been captains for a decade. You dont need to be perfect to get the job but you definitely need to put in more effort than the other guys to get noticed. Career fairs, network, letters of rec, proofing your app every other month, keep updating, and don't get discouraged.

If you are flying, update it every two weeks and make sure nothing with a hard expiration date is expired in airline apps. Good Luck! |

Next round of Hogan invites will be early Sept for Oct interview dates.

Does anyone know if having an intl or foreign current address somehow puts you at a disadvantage? Working for a loco on a 320 in Europe now, before that was at 2 regionals in the U.S, and am wondering if being detached from the U.S market counts against you somehow..
