Aviate, United Airlines’ pilot recruitment program – not to be mistaken for United Aviate Academy – is making a few program updates, including:
- Captain upgrade requirement
- Simplified transition requirements
- Bachelor’s degree is no longer required
- Part 135 opportunity
- Transition Commitment
These changes were made to increase transparency and allow for more First Officer hour availability.
Below is a copy of the letter with full details sent out to all Aviate participants today at 11:30 AM CT.
