  • My UMPP interview experience with United was world class. I recommend the $10 train from the terminal. I stayed at the hotel, and they picked me up at the train station. I walked over early, I would show up at the training center gate about 15 min before show time. When I showed up, a senior Captain greeted me and encouraged me that with my experience, the airline wanted to hire me. She emphasized how much they just wanted to get to know me.  From there, I proceeded to a cafeteria where I waited with one other UMPP applicant, and three “Aviate” candidates. We then walked our luggage to a secure storage area. We then walked through a small museum, then a classroom where we were then take back by different UAL personnel to separate briefing rooms. They offered coffee and water. You have to leave all personal electronic devices before you...

    HR first then technical. Intro, 5 TMAAT questions followed by a 5 minute break. TMAAT questions are apparently tailored to your Hogan assessment results. Technical was ORD to EWR with PHL as an alternate. I was given the departure weather and was asked to do a departure briefing using the 13 briefing items provided in the briefing packet. Couple questions on the SID like what does climb via mean, what's the highest threat, etc. Once enroute I got master caution light for Fuel Bypass Filter...

    My interview was nearly identical to other's experiences with United posted previously. My interview was scheduled for 0800, and I was told to show one hour prior. I stayed at the hotel (I'd recommend staying here if possible) and took the complimentary shuttle at 0630 (shuttle departs to United training facility every half hour). After checking in with the front desk and dropping off our luggage in a small storage area, the other interviewees and I waited in the cafeteria until a United...

    Stayed at the hotel across the street. Caught the 6:30am shuttle for an 8am interview. Got signed in and sat in the cafeteria for a bit. 3x UMPP there during that time slot. Pam 24yr 757/767 Capt out of Houston came and got us a bit after 7 for the tour and what to expect. As others have said, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. They want you to be there and they want you to succeed. We dropped off paperwork and logbooks and then waited for a bit to be called back. Chris, Newark FO...

    I was selected for an interview. Once scheduled, I was sent a welcome packet and study guide. These were extremely accurate & relevant, so read them and memorize the material it tells you you're responsible for. I stayed at the hotel across the street from the training center (one of the 3 from the welcome packet). They provide a shuttle service on the half hour, which was plenty of time to be comfortably early for my showtime. Upon arrival I checked in with the front desk and then went...

    Exactly as others have said. TMAAT first about 5-6 questions. 10 minute break and then a technical portion with a scenario that is tailored to your current flight environment. All in all very straight forward. My suggestion is to use there study guide to remember their 13 briefing items. Also practice your stories and have some stories ready to go for the TMAAT questions. The HR questions are harder to me personally, because the technical side of things is based around what you do...

    Accurate to everything shown here, about 5 TMAAT questions followed by a break and then a mock flight for the technical portion. Be confident in your answers and try to enjoy the experience. Everyone in the training center was incredibly welcoming and overall it was a great experience. Heard back the following...

    The interview was a great experience! United provided flight vouchers to get to and from their Flight Training facility in Denver as well as provided parking when I brought a rental car. Everyone was extremely welcoming, with current UA pilots greeting us and wishing us luck. We were brought back into the building by a UA LCA and shown around a bit. We had the opportunity to ask questions about the company and the Flight Training Center. When the interviewers were ready, they came and got...
