Fact 4: The CFIs from Phoenix are less than 10. That’s not a percentage. I mean TEN.
Soooooo......you can add all that up and try to imagine a world where that comes out to 60%........and you can also believe every word a recruiter tells you......
But you shouldn’t go around repeating it like you know what you’re talking about, as you clearly like to do with a massive sense of self-importance already.
For the sake of discussion, let’s say they are GOING to do that. That’s a HUGE leap from where we are. You being told 60% are coming from CPP carriers is akin to your company telling people there’s going to be an ATL base. You don’t seem to approve of that sort of thing, so I hope anybody listening to you does some extra bit of searching. The information I have provided is readily available all over these forums.
Fact 5: You like to hear yourself talk.
Let me take your numbers and others gathered from the forum.
Xjet: 25% (as reported by you)
CommutAir: 10% (as reported on their forum)
Air Wisconsin: 10% (as reported on their forum)
That totals 45% and only leaves 15% to gain pilots through other CPP programs, including Mesa’s. Mesa’s has been reported at 10% by others on this forum or a total of 55%. All of these numbers seem plausible targets to me. Pretty close to 60%.
I am sorry you work for such a depressing regional. It is the only regional I cannot recommend to anyone. Hopefully, you will be hired by United soon.
Maybe, I will be wrong and United will open up the CPP to non-UAX based pilots. This will certainly be good news for Xjet’s and Mesa’s American Eagle based pilots.
