ATP Practical Requirement
I know Delta recently removed their ATP practical requirement for applying. I heard a few rumors about United following suit in the near future but haven’t seen anything official. I was just wondering if anyone had any insight into whether there might be any truth to the rumor.

Delta doesn’t have that requirement, are they scraping the bottom of the barrel?

Maybe for civilian applicants, but as a military guy all the ATP practical proved was that I had 4K in my bank account. I was flying a multi engine cargo plane in and out of combat zones around the world for years, but I had to prove to the FAA I could fly a little 2 engine piper, and those 4.5 hours was the difference between being a qualified applicant or not?
