Overview

A United pilot is a member of the flight crew who is responsible for the safe, comfortable, on-time and efficient operation of the aircraft. A pilot flying as captain is the pilot-in-command and the final decision-making authority regarding the operation of the aircraft, although it is the responsibility of the first officer to contribute to the decision-making process. The captain represents United as the onsite leader responsible for the safety and welfare of the crew and passengers, while also promoting a favorable image of United in accordance with company policies.

  • Effectively manage tasks to optimize overall performance
  • Select appropriate level of automation for the situation and for every automation status
  • Exercise sound judgment in the safe and efficient operation of the flight
  • Operate in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations and company policies

In addition, the captain:

  • Advises and mentors the first officer in accordance with company policy and procedures
  • Acts as the inflight security coordinator
  • Provides final decision-making authority as to the operation of the aircraft

In addition, the first officer:
