Commutair requires 3000 total time with the company or 1000 PIC and a Bachelor's degree among other arbitrary requirements. Oh, and they are keeping the list of who got selected private. Knowledge is power I suppose.

What other credentials will United consider if one doesn't have a degree?

Lots and Lots of really important, high ranking letters of recommendation......I personally think it will be easier to get your degree, because you don't know the right people if you have to ask.

Military instructor pilots, military with multiple deployments, chief pilot or director of flight training at a regional, previous experience working for united, .... Single digits have been hired without degrees in years when we have hired hundreds.

How exactly does one become a military instructor pilot without a degree?

Neither which is possible without a degree. Except Army WOs. But then that gets into the helo discussion.

Sorry I thought I had one in my interview group but I don't know enough about that world. He was over 55 and had been at a small low cost carrier flying guppies. He did have helo time but I don't remember the whole story. No college degree.

It seems to me the question at hand is this, can one bypass the standard system and list of qualifications needed to get hired as a pilot for UAL?

The answer really is no. That is unless the person is a son or daughter of someone on the inside with a whole lot of influence.

Do the homework and pass the test.

***update***

This will clear the question up a bit.

From the posted website:
“Career Path Programs offer an alternative path to traditional hiring for qualified pilots at United Express carriers CommutAir, ExpressJet and Air Wisconsin

In 2018, 35 percent of United’s new hires will be from Career Path Programs, compared to 30 percent in 2017

Each carrier has specific program requirements. United closely monitors training, dependability and discipline records of all participants throughout their involvement in the program.

Please visit each partner’s website for complete program details and how to apply.”

The answer for the OP is this,
You are looking at a program for EXPRESS carriers and not UAL itself.

Currently, and probably well into the future, UAL has no need to hire pilots with little or no credentials, including a higher education degree. But there are programs to help one get to an EXPRESS carrier.

Pretty sure not even the company knows for sure.

XJT is 25%, isn't Commutair 10%?

I'm pretty sure that 10% above XJT's 25% isn't split between AWAC and Commutair.

Yes. C5 is 10% starting in January.

I don't know ZW's CPP status.
