United Airlines began accepting applications for around 100 new pilot positions to fly their commercial planes across the country.
This has been the first time in six years (since 2001) that United Airlines has opened its doors to new pilots and new ranks amongst some of their best fliers.
The company hopes that the hiring move will strengthen its business and expand their international coverage all over the world. With issues in the past, United Airlines believes this will boost the company tremendously.
Surprisingly, there is no line to United Airlines' application office. In fact, the entire application process will be online at http://united.com/pilot.
"When I heard that United Airlines was hiring, I could not wait to apply. I've always loved flying planes but never found the opportunity to work for a commercial company. I plan on applying tonight, but I know it's going to be tough being accepted. There are so many great pilots out there who would love to fly for a company like this. It would still be an amazing opportunity," said amateur pilot and Chicago resident Dan Schmidt.
However, becoming a pilot is more than just applying. United has also put forth its six-week training that captains and first officer candidates have to go through. In this training, pilots-to-be will have to learn how to work with a crew while also managing the plane. The company says this is the most vital training and must be perfected before any pilot actually gets to fly a plane for United Airlines. These wannabe-pilots will have to master the same skills as drawn out by the Federal Aviation Administration.
United expects tons of applications since it opened the site today. Once a will-be pilot is selected by United Airlines, they will have to complete the training at the company's state-of-the-art Flight Training Center located in Denver. The program will start as early as October. United Airlines hopes new pilots will be in the air by the end of the year.
On the United Airlines application site, the company has listed the minimum requirements for men and women to apply:
-1500 hours Total Time - Fixed Wing.
-1000 hours Multi-engine time (PIC) or Military fighter/trainer (PIC).
-500 hours Turbine Time.

Sometimes our inner monologue is filled with negativity, which can reduce our desire to do anything.
For example, you might have an inner recording telling you that working on your goals is a waste of time because you simply don’t have what it takes to succeed (you might not even be consciously aware of such a recording).
If you counter that with a positive pep talk, it can give you the motivation to get moving. Imagine that you had to motivate your best friend. What would you say to him or her?
Say those very same things to yourself and let yourself get inspired!
The pilots of erstwhile Air India were victims of prejudice and bias by the top management of the airline dominated by personnel of the erstwhile Indian Airlines. While the management was focussed on addressing the issues of the erstwhile Indian Airlines, the career progression of the pilots of erstwhile Air India were automatically compromised. Having failed to get themselves heard, the pilots of the IPG had no choice but to agitate to initiate dialogue. To their horror, the management did just the opposite. The management was so prompt in resorting to mass terminations, that it almost felt as though it was premeditated. Their resolve of not initiating dialogue with the pilots, which is contrary to how they handled the strike of the pilots of erstwhile Indian Airlines, further highlights their act of bias. In order to break the strike, the management punished the pilots by means of more terminations, court cases and failed attempts to recruit more pilots. Strangely, these attacks only strengthened the unity of the pilots. 440 of them have stood their ground for 55 days without any cracks in their ranks. This also goes to show the level of injustice they have been subjected to. The pilots have also made every attempt to engage in dialogue and end this crisis. Their latest one being their hunger protest.
Here is the story of a 25-year-old First officer, Capt. Tejveer Singh. Son of Badan Singh, 56, a school teacher from Bharatpur in Rajasthan. When Tejveer joined Air India four years ago, little did he know that he would become an inspiration to many for years to come.
Air India pilots vs government: Who will blink first?
Tejveer joined the hunger protest, fasting from day one in Delhi. Braving Delhi's heat of 45 degrees Celsius, he continuously fasted for six days in a row. In his hometown, his 50-year-old mother also began her fast along with her son. On the sixth day of Tejveer's fast, his parents came from Bharatpur, a town 150 kilometres away from Delhi, to persuade him to break his fast. But the defiant Tejveer refused to do so. After much insistence and persuasion from his colleagues, he finally broke the fast for the sake of his mother.
While his batch mates in IGRUA (the school where Tejveer learned how to fly) had pictures of leading ladies of Bollywood and Hollywood in their rooms, Tejveer hung pictures of Mahatma Gandhi and Bhagat Singh. He was one of the few recipients of the JRD Tata scholarship for his excellence in flying. His reputation in the airline is that of a thorough professional, which his seniors vouch for.
Tejveer has two younger siblings to support. With his parents' humble earnings, their future is entirely dependent on his income. Being a man of principles and an ardent follower of Bhagat Singh and Mahatma Gandhi, the man chose to follow his heart and stand up for his right to justice.
There are several others like Capt. Tejveer Singh, who have not only been on fast for seven days at a stretch, but have braved to do so at a temperature of 45 degrees Celsius.
While health means more than wealth to a pilot, these pilots have gone on to risk all that they have got, in their quest for justice. A provocative, insensitive and immature statement by our Civil Aviation Minister, pushed these pilots to risk damaging their health to a point, wherein they could lose their ability to make a living as an aviator.
Instead of dealing with this 'over 50 days old impasse' with compassion and reason, Ajit Singh went on to make a mockery of the pilots' fast by saying that, a 48 hours fast is only good for one's health.
Being the largest stakeholders of the Company, the pilots have made every effort to engage in dialogue and put an end to this longstanding impasse. They have even risked their lives to demonstrate their commitment to save the Maharajah. On the contrary, the Minister chose to make a mockery of the pilots' fast and soon left for a vacation to London. He will be returning on July 8.
While the management is not empowered to take any decisions in the absence of the Minister, a solution in the near future is out of the question. Such is the commitment of the Ministry & Management to resolve this longstanding crisis.
