These programs are designed to staff the regional, not the legacy. This program is a carrot on a stick that will be just out of reach for the vast majority of people at ZW, in order to keep them at ZW.
Agree with most of your points, but your math is off. 544 pilots/36 does equal 15 years for everyone on the FLICA list to go.
The high number guy that’s going to UAL in November was the 36th person on the overall enrollment list that was last released.
Some of the people above him have not interviewed, because they enrolled at the end of the window. Some of them did take the hogan, or interviewed, but were shot down. Some of them don’t have 4 year degrees.
We don’t know. And because we don’t know, speculating on how long it’s going to take for this program to work through the list is meaningless. It could be 3-4 years for a guy that just got hired, or it could be
never.
The CPP is a expedited ticket to interview at UAL (twice!), and that’s it. I think the biggest problem that most people have is that it is marketed as “career progression” in the same way that the AA WO’s market the flow. It’s not.
