I usually don’t have many great things to say about United, but I love this idea. Hope to see some good people become even better pilots!
meh.... https://careers.southwestair.com/D225 this programs much much better ;)
I think 10th graders should have an opportunity to take an"interest and ability" test if they were at all interested in aviation. You can tell by that age if they would ever make it in aviation.
Doesn’t sound particularly innovative to me, lots of words, few specific, concrete steps apart from the 2 years and 2000 hours. Initially on reading the headline, I thought they were talking about ab initio training like some of the major European airlines do or have done for decades.
Be real interesting what exactly they mean by fast track to Captain.
In my experience, the bigger the airline in terms of crew, the longer to upgrade, usually decades......but I may be wrong. Good luck.

guess United said "screw you" to my airline and we fly solely for them......... lol ok.
Unfortunately, United's new MIleagePlus "upgrades" are biased towards the weekly traveler. The less frequent, long-distance traveler will now suffer to achieve upgrade status.
There is so many highly qualified pilots flying their passengers now, give them the promotion they are waiting for instead the majors keep the flood of low time pilots with very little PIC time.
