Are you a UAL pilot with no degree?

Look at the UAL mins to apply, then look at whose getting hired. Feel like rolling the dice for a few years?

I know there are no flows to United but I can apply from a regional.
Which regional is the best to get to United?
Is ATP Flight Academy a good school to go to so I can start at that regional to get to United? If not which school?
What's the application/interview process like to United?
Thank you for helping me.

The program was announced in Aug 2016 and has already started.
(Cape Air has flow through to Jet Blue...not a major, but you may want them...)

I guess he didn't learn about no cell phone usage during simulator training sessions in high school. One of those "givens" for most people.

UAL does not have a flow through agreement with ANYBODY. Including the flight school mentioned above or ANY regional airline. What they are developing is a preferential interview program. WAY different than a flow through agreement.

Which again is ironic, considering the positions he held at his previous employer.

It's only a preferential initiate the selection process program. Just like an OTS candidate, the HPI is screening out a lot of good people. So they don't even make it to the interview.
