You're wrong, it's currently 25% pass rate. That has been pretty much standard across both CPP airlines (C5 and XJT).

Yes the 0.8 calculation includes any months that UAL did not hire. The OP asked for the average, so why would that time not be included? That is time you are getting bent over at C5 instead of making six figures at the mainline. You have to consider historical delays into the calculation to make a reasonable expectation of "flow" date.

CommutAir had to wait 7 months to send 6 people. Those types of delays have to be accounted for. BTW that's 0.85 pilots per month average if you only count those 7 months, which is consistent with the average over the last 2 years for those that thought I was exaggerating.

When United hires more consistently again, the average should slowly increase as long as the CPP is honored. But the CPP is not in any contract and they have already said they will not release people to United if they cannot staff the airplanes. Staffing is the key, but currently other airlines are paying more money to fly the same bases.
