This is purely anecdotal, but I was a shuttle driver in the DFW airport area, and the hotel I worked at catered to pilots doing initial and recurrent training in simulators.

About 95% of the pilots worked for cargo airlines, and I would hear the scuttlbutt, about how the younger pilots were thinking going to a commercial passenger airline, the older pilots basically said avoid United like the plague.

You would have more pilots if you didn’t force them to take the clot shot.

Multiple pilots at United told Reuters that senior first officers have been avoiding promotion to captain as they do not want the unpredictable schedule that comes with the bigger paycheck,


And this may be the first time management has heard this?

But it does raise a question, what does motivate pilots these days if not money?

United used to be one of the best airlines.

Now it’s very much a business in decline.

I haven’t flown enough. And I haven’t been to all the airlines. But my limited sample size has showed me that United is the worst airline. It’s not as nice as others. I’ve flown on Delta a couple times. I thought it was pretty nice (for an American airline).

Didn’t United demand their pilots get clot shots or else?

Yeah, If today’s pilots have any sense, they’d know to stay away from this place.

My son’s friend works for United and does not want to be a Captain since he would have to rent a room in SF one week a month to be on call.

It pays really well but the stand by requirement is insane.
