Where did this info come from? I haven't been told anything either.

FWIW I heard that United is taking "CCP" pilots instead of 'off the street hires'. I'm not sure what's happening here though. I don't really understand it but I think they're 1) trying to create movement at the regionals to entice new hires there 2) take an appreciable hires amount of the preferential interview guys to make the program look worth it.
I could be wrong...
