I have close to 20 internal recommendations on file and I have attended countless job fairs in the past 4 years but I have not been able to get the interview.
I am getting a little desperate since I am not getting any younger and I keep hearing that United is looking for more youthful pilots as years pass by. I am currently employed at JetBlue but I am considering going back to the regionals in order to take advantage of the CPP.
For those that went through the CPP or other similar programs and landed the job with United, what are your experiences and would you recommend it?
Have you paid to have your app reviewed by checked and set or any of the like? That was the game changer for me. My app wasn't a mess but the tweaks that they made landed me a Hogan about 30 days later. Something to consider before you make a lateral or backwards move.
