I wouldn’t call it the norm. I have friends with a respectable-but-not-too-much amount of turbine time having trouble getting the call. Including some who can check certain boxes on the application. It’s difficult to understand what HR is looking for at the moment.

Hey now, those were some hard earned 250 hours of riding the right seat of an Airbus with animals on the tail. I’m sure they knocked those TMAAT questions out of the park with their whole 250 hours of experience flying the line.

Yet I know a few with TPIC and already sitting pretty at a legacy, want UAL to avoid commuting for decades, not being called. I would love to learn the strategy of this pilot hiring team at United. Their hiring methods have been bizarre lately.

Seems like the vast majority of people I know who have received interview invites from United went out of their way to let them know they were interested aka stood in line to meet UAL pilot hiring team at a job fair. If they’re at a competing legacy, they’re probably not trying hard enough to get to United (which has even been a trend for most of the AA Wholly Owned RJ pilots now that they’re making up to $427/hr), or they failed the hogan/ CPP/ Aviate interview too many times in their past lives.

I know the interview process can be a crapshoot but seeing some of the resumes UAL has said yes to, and then seeing those friends get the TBNT, has me quite confused.

This is not true. I have multiple friends—who I have flown with—who are sharp pilots with good resumes at LCC/non-UA regional who have received a TBNT recently.

It is confusing what they are looking for. 2 in my regional class received CJOs in the last week and they haven't upgraded yet. Both were right around 800 hrs TSIC, 0 TPIC 2400ishTT. One had a bachelor's, the other an associates.

My guess: the hire-for-experience well is dry. They’re now hiring on personality/soft factors. Not “woke” stuff… actual “we see potential in you”
There’s logic behind that but it definitely going to be very squishy and - by design - not explained easily looking at a resume
