Like everyone else I got TMAAT questions, then Sim, (view the sim/scenario section of this website).   After the HR portion  I then watched a CRM video and where a flight crew came in high and fast. The Captained seemed to ignore the FO and SOPs, no calls for checklist, un-stabilized approached and refused to go around after the FO called for a go around at least 4 times. I got asked what I would have done had I been the FO calling a go around. I said I would have told tower that we are going around. The CRM portion was very easy to analyze. Finally make sure you brief the entire SID/STAR with crossing restriction and or speeds. I didn't mention the...

    As most people have stated they do a great job of making you feel relaxed. The people you interact with are genuinely happy to be there and glad you are there as well. Panel interview began with a high level tell me about yourself, then 5 TMAAT questions, quick break and then the technical portion. 1 hour and 15 minutes on the dot for me very efficient. They give you all the information you need to he sucessful, prepare to answer your TMAAT questions with the star format, practice with a...

    Started w a high level review of resume in your view. 4-5 min worth about you then on to Tmaat, (view the study guide of this website).  Only advice I could give on these is to practice the STAR method of answering. I'm not good at that so they asked me a few questions after each. Sim/scenario: Den-Las  Asked questions about sid chart and star into Vegas.  G/A callouts on current plane, look into weather and notams at potential airports. Use the 2 in/2 out method for who you...

    Introduced myself, 5 TMAAT questions, short break, then the TSA. I was given DEN-SFO with a brand new FO, clear weather, planned to land in SFO with 6000 lbs of fuel. Used the 13 briefing items, went smoothly. Couple questions about the SID and what altitudes to fly. Got the YAW DAMP light in cruise, ran the checklist, opted to continue. Shot the approach into SFO, went missed, SFO closed. Talked to dispatch for alternates and figured out the fuel situation. Opted for better weather and...

    Started with a high level review of my resume lasting about 4-5 minutes then on to TMAAT questions. Mine had more to do with dealing with conflict and decisions I've regretted. Technical part was straight forward and dealt with a flt from den-las. Started out with my briefing, 13 items included in the study packet they send you, which led to reviewing the sid and star for respective airport. Finally coming in for landing and airport closes so I go around using current company callouts. Check...

    Amazing experience, laid back environment. I recommend staying at the hotel on the other side of road, they have shuttles to the training center so you don’t have to walk in. After getting your badge and handing over your logbooks you will be given a tour of the UA Museum and wait in a conference room until you are called by one of your interviewers to another room (very punctual and each candidate has his own pair of interviewers so you won’t be waiting til the others are...

    The interview was a fantastic experience. United does an excellent job of communicating with you prior to the interview. Make sure to bring all original logbooks as well as study the packet they supply for the interview. As far as the gouge, it is everything that you’re seeing on here. Technically there are 2 phases of the interview, HR & Technical. However I like to say there are 3 parts because you have those two plus, Why United? United put on a great interview experience! I...

    Exactly as described by others before me on this site. I flew in the afternoon before the interview and had a nice stay at the hotel across the street. Free shuttle the next morning from the hotel to the FTC. Upon arrival we got a visitor badge, dropped off our logbooks, put personal items in a cubby, and waited in the cafeteria. A very nice Pilot gave us the tour, explained the process, and put us all at ease, telling us up front that we would get our results within 5 business days. My...

    Standard like other UMPP interviews. Met an FO in the cafeteria who showed us around and had us leave our logbooks in a bin near the interview offices. Then we sat in a classroom, got a speech on the big things happening at United and that they pride themselves on making you feel relaxed in the interview. Interviewers then walked in to grab us one by one. TMAY TMAAT questions, (view the study guide of this website).  Technical: DEN-SFO, everywhere VFR, nothing on the MEL, smooth ride....
