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.
Not to mention the fact that if our CPP is structured similarly to Expressjet or others it’s a percentage of each newhire class. This was a slow year for hiring at united so it’s a small total amount of us going. As they start hiring more and more more people should theoretically be going every month.
