UAL and UND have announced an agreement subject to the whim (i.e. Manpower retention) of Express CPA carriers.
Agreed.
CPP = carrot dangle/retention scheme at the regionals.
This and others = carrot dangle/retention scheme at the college level.
This is significant as a conditional job offer is being made, subject to the above hoops, to an unqualified applicant. It appears that pilot hiring is being farmed out to the universities. Traditionally, a UAL captain (ALPA member), has been a part of the pilot hiring process, I wonder how this will change that dynamic.
Exactly.
Which means the prospective pilot can consider themselves on probation from day 1 of starting the UND program to end of year 1 at UAL. Assuming they make it there of course.
