It's 1000 hours command, or 3000 company time minimum. All to qualify for a program predicated on passing the Hogan and an HR interview, only to sit in a pool with zero transparency. Is it better than playing the street hire game? Sure, but it also isn't a magical fast pass to Rhapsody in Blue either.
You could even make the argument that United might be interested in poaching their competition's future hiring pool rather than take any more than necessary from any CPP program.
