You must be illin....If you ever do get that interview just have a really solid story on why, how and what the experience did to make you a better person and a better pilot. Good luck.

Just want to understand this correctly-
We hired someone (recently?) that has 2 DUI's, "one recently"?

If true, that does not bode well about our hiring.
Then again, I live by - :if it don't sound legit, it probably aint:

Yeah,

I'm not buying that one either. Mr. multiple check ride failure and nasty attitude is going to have one heck of a tough time IF he can ever get to the interview phase.

Agreed. Based on the guys I know who haven't even been called I'm not buying we have new hires with recent DUIs. We're years away from hiring folks who can't pass checkrides and drive drunk regularly.

But not as much as you think. There's been more than a few with multiple check ride fails, violations, DUI's, performance downgrades, etc.

But yeah, it's amazing that there types you we all know with experience and spotless records without even a HPI email while others get in that for RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW probably shouldn't with XX,XXX apps in the stack.

It's who you know in many cases that gets people hired.

one problem with these forums is that few ppl on them can read
you all get below 500 on reading on SAT's ??

the guy said he knows a United guy with two DUI's, one recently

the DUI is "recently" not the guy getting hired

sheesh. no wonder the climb and descend via's get so misunderstood

i too know United pilots with two DUI's. they got em long after they were hired.
maybe that's what the poster meant. who knows. but the attacks based on the attackers' poor grasp of English grammar are ... ahhh. typical.

Bus,

Granted, nobody on here can read gooder than you, but paperboi was talking about getting HIRED with certain black marks on his and others records. I don't believe the topic of what one could get away with while EMPLOYED at UA was ever mentioned. And yes, my reading score on the SAT was pretty underwhelming!

So.. someone I know (same newhire class) texted me to inform me that the post is true.. that he knows the individual 'very well' and that he got his 2nd DUI and went through the program, and got hired by UAL shortly thereafter.

Can not believe that with 1000's of apps on file, we would hire an individual with 2 DUI's.
Yes, we are all allowed to make mistakes and learn from them.. but in this day and age, weren't there enough guys with only one DUI to choose from?

Each his own..
Motch

PS) I can't imagine what potential new hires who read these threads must be thinking.. those with clean records, 1000's of hours PIC, LCA or volunteers within the community, Mil Veterans, etc.. and still waiting for the call~
Hang in there guys & gals~
