Guys, I think I may be over thinking this, but it's starting to bug me. In the Addendum for united one of the questions is "In the past two years, have you been employed by a company with whom you were subject to DOT required drug and alcohol testing?"

My answer is yes, because I've worked at two 121 carriers in the past two years that require a dot drug test for employment. Am I reading that question correct? It kind of makes nervous that it's right in the middle of a bunch of no answers, and now I am wondering if it is asking if I've ever HAD to submit to required drug testing for "reasons."

Like i said, I'm probably overthinking it.

You're overthinking it.

I gather the question is just a 'checksum' to see if you're actually carefully reading the questions.
 
I have a question, if one never paid airline apps and the free account expires after the one year limit, what happens to the application as far as the airline is concerned? Does it automatically delete it?
 
You need to list both companies down on the application. Make sure you follow the directions carefully. They ask for the Name, Address, Phone Number, Fax Number and Dates of Employment. A date of employment is M/D/Y - M/D/Y or M/D/Y - present. When we review client apps sometimes we see M/Y - M/Y.

When a recruiter reads an application (similar to reading a resume at a job fair) they are building an impression based on the information you put down. It the the application doesn't look perfect and has numerous mistakes, the recruiter may not be thinking great things about you. Also remember that Airline Apps turns off spellcheck to see if you can spell words correctly. Check for errors because I am sure @Derg has seen plenty.

As someone who is barely functionally literate that is very disheartening.

And so does Google Chrome but I still see mistakes from clients who use both programs. The best thing to do is cut and paste your application to Word to check for errors.

I'm not at a full keyboard right now, but I'm reasonably certain Firefox ignores their directive to disable spell checking on OS X.

The day I let a remote website make that sort of decision will never come.

(Doesn't matter - I can spell.)

From what I hear, one of the first steps to getting a Delta interview is a "fix it" email from Delta because something wasn't done right on the application by the pilot applicant. I've heard several stories where guys went in, fixed their errors, and then got an interview from Delta. I remember at one point it was such a phenomenon that some guys actually started to screw a thing or two on the app thinking maybe the automation catches the error and alerts the recruitment team, so they at least review the app. Probably rumors, but at least on APC, guys were convinced getting the "fix it" email led to an interview.

This. Works well. Editing something you've read over a 1000 times is difficult. You start seeing what you want to or think you should see.

English comp teacher gave me a good piece of advice in high school. Has worked out well for me (well as well as can be expected of someone who can barely put together coherent sentences in text form). Read it backwards. The problem is when we read we tend to read by scanning clumps of words as one solid piece of scanned information. We tend to decipher words based on the first couple of letters, the shape, and the context. The rest we sort of subconsciously fill in the rest of the letters to make the word we expect. When we read it backwards it slows down the scan drastically, and kills the context. At least for me.

Of course that isn't going to do anything to fix things like which/which, than/then, to/too/two. Or grammar...Lord help me and my grammar!

No, your application is not deleted. You simply don't have the ability to update it anymore unless you pay the fee or create a new free account.
