Most had paper (traditional) log books, they took them when I showed up (I was about 45 mins early for paperwork turn in and fingerprints)..... They had them in front of me when they brought me in for the panel, no questions at all regarding them, they had already done with them what they needed... I would imagine verified the flight time (mins).

pm me if youd like... I will answer any questions you have. There was not a "non disclosure" statement any of us signed, so I am not giving out any secrets by helping out...... and honestly I have nothing but good things to say about their process anyway, it was great! Hit me up if you need anything.

Pm sent but got an error msg. I imagine your inbox is already full after that invite....

I know they like check airman

Patience and good luck, united will hire 600 every year for the next 10 years and that is not a joke

I was just going to point that out..

Without 121 time you are not competitive.

Is there any consideration give to contract flying for the military? Also had my resume walked in to chief pilot's office by a senior captain and a friend contacted CV directly to review my app.

I dont know what the selection process entails but I hope that having 121 time, PIC Jet time and things like a check airman letter would put guys like me in front of those that have only turbo-prop part 91 time. However the airline hiring process is a little enigmatic in that regard so perhaps your chances are as good as mine. Good Luck
