Is anyone getting called without a 4 year? I see they only prefer one, not require.

Short answer: Nope.

Long answer: If you are the nephew of a system chief pilot, have a very solid background, a spotless record, and photos of the CEO with a goat you might be able to squeak through. Otherwise, this the is the front side of the hiring wave and UAL has thousands of applications with the same, or better qualifications, and the 4-year degree box checked. UAL can be very selective at this point.

from IAH CP update:

As of Sept 15....
205 pilots had responded to recall
23 accepted
87 accepted but are on mil leave
95 bypassed
Remaining furloughees have until Sept 24 to respond
Ual will continue to hire and fill classes with newbies where there are not enough recalls.
60/month (recalls+newbies) till end of year
possibly going to 100/month for first 6mo of 2014

Which one?

The one with folks that have been offered a job but have not been assigned a class is very shallow. With the small acceptance to recall numbers I suspect that there will be some very short notice class date offers to keep the training pipeline full.

The one with all the applications on file hoping for an interview is getting deeper by the minute.

Has anyone heard of just your average regional captain with a few internal recs, a 4 year degree and +/-2,000 hours of PIC getting the call yet? All I've heard so far seems like they're still calling the LCA's, mil IP's and former interns.

Also, a few pages back, they were talking about a CP whose LOR could be the "kiss of death" but no one would name names. Could someone at least post his initials?

Nope.

But I do have certain contacts. The information I shared was current "as of" last week when I directly spoke to an individual in that department---so it's probably obsolete by now.

Has anyone who interviewed in the last week heard anything yet? If I sweat anymore, I might disappear
