Any word on if United intends to do a Veteran get together 2017 similar to last year?

I was a first day morning with a 2 year availability at the time of last year event.

Thanks for any updates!

Another veteran hiring event would be nice. USAF is bleeding pilots who are looking for good employers like United.

The short answer is yes. The timeline for next year is unknown.

Is anyone still getting called from this thing or have we been filtered back into the regular pile?

There is a pool that will not start training until 2018 and new hiring will not commence until next year. Source: Cockpit 2 Cockpit OBAP after action report.

I'm hoping that another veterans event will kickoff hiring for 2018.

Sorry guys, hiring has essentially stopped for 2017. To resume in early 2018. Guys in the pool may have to wait a while. Relatively few new guppies coming in the near term. Hiring less than retirements. We are now shrinking.

I wouldn't be surprised that when the pool is drained, we get something less than 50%. If it's an option, I might seriously consider AA or Delta in the meantime.

Sure looks like getting ready to buy someone.
