Good question. Christmas Day will be an off day. You'll have to be in class the day after which means flying to IAH Christmas night.

Sim is still being decided due to a few variables. You will have the Hogan for sure.

Kind of like when Wallach orchestrated his posse to throw their hat's on the ground, and turned their back's to Glenn??

The new UAL is buying 12,000 hats for the pilots. I'm guessing it won't be optional in the future.?

Tks for the info. Hmm for airlines looking for cost savings, 12,000 x $80 isn't cheap.

Curious, where did this info come from? Did they decide if the Hogan is going to be "make or break" like it was in the past?

It will be used to break out applicants in rank them accordingly and draw from various types.

Not used a make or break.

So the SIM is not a definite portion of the new process for when off the street hiring starts?

Also, the poolie re-interviews have not had to do the Hogan right? I am not poolie just curious I guess...

One more

--- Do I understand correctly, that the Hogan does (or may) not a mean disqualification?

Thanks!

Come on now ... he did more than that:

Hat Switch On & Off
The temper tantrum with the hats and Tilton that you mentioned
The Line Guarantee LOA in exchange to not picket UAL Corporate cutomers ... oh wait he reneged on that.
The Court Ordered Injunction we are still laboring under
Pulling down Trip Trade
The speech to the MEC that he's "out of ideas"
Having his lackeys recall the Negotiating Committee because they allegedly worked to campaign for the other MEC Chariman
AND he and his lackeys gave us little Jay
