Earlier this month United Airlines hosted its second annual ‘invitation only’ pilot expo in Denver at our own Flight Training Center. Over 460 pilots attended and were met by over 30 pilot recruiters. After listening to presentations by Flight Operations leaders, each pilot was invited to review their resume and qualification with a pilot recruiter during a :10-15 one-on-one conversation.
United Airlines also invited Women in Aviation International (WAI), Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals (OBAP), National Gay Pilots Association (NGPA), Latino Pilots Association (LPA) and Professional Asian Pilots Association (PAPA) to meet with these pilots during the expo. Also in attendance was United’s Manpower Planning department as well as United pilots representing our Military Business Resource Group.
The two day Pilot Expo was extremely well received by attendees and deemed a successful event by United Airlines.
