I flew into DEN the day before my interview to make sure I wouldn’t be late since my interview was in the morning. I stayed at the hotel right across the street from the training center. Arrived to the training center 90 minutes early and sat in the cafeteria. I talked with a few others who were interviewing before we were given a tour of the center and the museum. We were then taken to a room and waited to get called. There were 4 of us there. 2 were military. Me and the other were...

Interview was once again pretty straightforward, went to the cafeteria and wait on a pilot to take us on the tour and bring us to a classroom to wait. There were 3 other pilots interviewing. Another United pilot came in and called my name to come to the interview room. I was given 8-9 tmaat questions and then the standard why United question. Took about a 5 minute break and then went for the technical portion. Was mainly IFR stuff (airspace, holds, airspeeds, weather mins). And then some...

My experience was much like everyone else on this website. I recommend taking the shuttle from the airport to the United Facility and then over to the hotel from there(much, much cheaper). The morning of the interview, I had all of my things prepared and rode the shuttle over (30 min before I was supposed to be there) and checked in with my logbook and documents. They will direct you to the cafeteria just as everyone else had mentioned and I was one of 4 being interviewed(the only one for...

Stayed the night before in the hotel right across from the flight training center. It was snowing and the sidewalks were full of snow so it was impossible to walk on the sidewalk, so I took an uber to the FTC and they will drop you off on the car entrance were you have to walk a bit to the B building. Once in the B building you tell the security guard that you’re in for the aviate interview and say your name. They will make you fill an iPad application and take your picture for the...

I am a current employee of United Airlines in another department outside of Flight Ops and have been for 19 years. I applied for the Aviate Program via the family pathway that is for employees and dependents of active employees, however employee candidates are treated the same as anyone else in the program. If you have arrived this far in the process then you have completed the online assessments and have been invited to interview. I received the invite to interview email about 2 business...

Hello everyone! If you're scrolling through this at midnight, nervously worrying about your upcoming United Aviate interview and trying to guess what questions you'll be asked--relax. Take a deep breath. You’ve got this! Let’s start with the logistics. I booked a room at a hotel (literally across the street from the United FTC) about two weeks before my interview. The price? Let’s just say it wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t highway robbery either. I flew in the...

Never thought I would say this about an interview, but my experience interviewing with United’s Aviate was an absolute blast. From the check-in to the tour of the facilities to the interview itself, United works extremely hard to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. The time I submitted my application to the date of my in person interview was 3.5 months. Don’t be discouraged if it takes a while- opposed to many companies, they have real people reviewing your application which...

The interview at United was nice, first they give you a tour of the building led by one of their pilots. They want you to succeed and everyone that walked by even if they were not part of the interview process made it a point to say hello. Dress sharp! The other interviewees will be also. Once the interview starts it is about 90 minutes with a 5 minute break between the HR questions and the technical portion. There will be at least two people conducting the interview, one will be from HR and...

The United Aviate Interview was a phenomenal experience. I had a lot of fun, more than expected. There was nothing that I was not prepared for. They laid out the entire process, and they stuck to it. After submitting my initial application, it took about 10 weeks to hear about the next steps. I then received an invite to participate in their Online Leadership Assessment. This is a personality quiz, and there is no way to prepare for it. Just answer the questions honestly. A few days went by,...

My experience was just as everyone else stated. After the online portion I was invited to interview in Denver. They paid for my flight out (I paid for the hotel as I opted to arrive a day early). The morning of my interview a shuttle took me over to the training center where I signed in, put my luggage in the luggage room and began waiting in the cafeteria with the other interviewees. All of the guys with my group were all Aviate interviews, although I met several guys there for FO...
