Default Hiring Minimums at United

Hi!

I'm a fresh ATP with my first type on a business jet who dreams of flying for United Airlines one day. I was wondering what the actual hiring minimums are for the company?
The website states preferred 1000 hours of fixed turbine time. Have you seen any examples of pilots without a lot of turbine time being recruited?

I have a friend who got recruited into delta at 1700 total time with only 100 hours on a jet. I'd ideally like to waste no time into getting in.

Thanks

I believe 750 turbine is a hard minimum, but you are likely to get an interview invite after reaching 1000. Is your ATP unrestricted? Additionally I strongly recommend attending as many job fairs as you can to get F2F time. Good luck you’ll like it here a lot!

1) apply and network

2) the minimums may shift as the pool dries up. Be ready for the day they send invites at 675 turbine.

As others have stated, 750 is the current requirement.

I have a friend who was flying for SW. 737 type with 400 hours in type. Couldn’t get a whiff of an interview at UA, but got an interview and starts at DAL this month.

Keep updating your app every couple of weeks. Best of luck.

750 is not a hard minimum. Know multiple who had less.

Recently? I know for a while they were taking less (maybe 6 months ago is when a couple of my buddies with less were taken) but thought they were sticking to the 750 min now a days. I recently went to a convention was told 750 min.
