It’s worked out good for the pilots that have gone.
Many of those pilots going NOW could have taken advantage of the of the defacto system and been hired at CAL in 2005-2008 and be NB CA’s, senior NB’s FO’s, senior (enough) WB FO’s NOW.
Many of them are having/had the come to jesus moment of “oh crap, looks like staying at a regional wasn’t such a good idea afterall”.
And for those waiting on their interview;
The ones that pass HPI and get the face to face have about a 20% chance of getting accepted.
The second rounders have about a 50% chance.
That stay held close for Commutair as well.
Just like off the street, they have shot down some FANTASTIC pilots and accepted some of the most disliked/avoided CA’s.
And there’s been more than a few in the program that simply left becuse they were tired of waiting on their number. CA’s as well as FO’s.
A guy said it best, “the CPP is NOTHING MORE than a chance, at a chance, at a chance”.
