It looks like you're talking about today's 2/21 class, I was talking about the 2/14 class. Since we're talking about it, it looks like the 2/21 class was 41x 737's to EWR or IAH, and like you said split pretty evenly. 6x 320's to EWR or SFO (most chose SFO), and 2x 756's to DCA, IAH, EWR, SFO or LAX. All 320's and 756'S were taken in the first 1/3rd of the class.

For what it’s worth, I was hired end of last year and on property currently here. Just my take based on my experience during the hiring process: the whole person concept is big ie what value do you bring beyond flying skills as United seems to be emphasizing a lot of corporate employment aspects for United Next rather than more traditional interviews.
I did my own research on prep and didn’t pay a company. Presented my self as the “hero of my own story”. I had 10 various stories based on my professional and personal experiences and used those to answer questions. I also incorporated CRM/TEM principles into my answers demonstrating additional skills I bring to the table. I didn’t even bother trying to wrote memorize questions. For the tech, just was professional, showed up prepared, and when asked if I was doing it as a Fo or Ca I said CA of course (coming from a ACMI FO job).
Used the same prep/interview technique for multiple airlines and got CJO’s from UAL, DL, and SWA. Not saying prep CO’s aren’t good, just chose to use my own research as I was already at a pretty good widebody intl gig.
My background going into interview: Mil warrant officer RTP, regional CA with 6600TT, 2700FW, 1100TPC, widebody ACMI FO with 75/76 type, no degree.

Yes, you can defer a class date - once.
About 4 weeks after you get the CJO, they email you a class date, and tell you that you must be available full time for 12 weeks starting on that date.
if you need to start a few weeks or months later, just reply to the class date email, politely explaining that in order to make the 12 week commitment, you will need a later start date. Tell them the date when you’ll be available.
They don’t guarantee a specific start date of your choice, but will email you about 4 weeks before the date you said you will be available, giving you your new class date.
I don’t know what the max delay is that they would accept. In my case I needed to shift start date about 6 weeks in order to not miss a big family event. They assigned me the first Tuesday after my available date.

Trying to enter the New Candidate Portal but nothing, URL sent by the company sends me to the Taleo page, only the Job page there . No answer at all from the Hiring Team.
Any advise or willing to share the address in a PM?
Thank you!!!
