The Envoy/PSA/Piedmont flow is a defined thing. When you're number comes, you go. It's that simple. It's not a 12% success rate of all employees that were on property at the time the CPP was implemented. The Delta program has/had a 50% or better success rate. I'm no mathematician but 50% > 12%. Plus upgrade at Envoy is as soon as you get 1,000 121 time. Not so much at Expressjet.
I hope United gets things in gear but there's no real sign of that right now. There's a lot of people at this company that would love to hear some good news and would like to be a working partner with United instead of being treated like a third rate contractor with no career progression and stability.
I will agree that the Ultra senior ASA lifers here are a huge drain on the place and it would be extremely sad if they drag us down the tubes. There's a reason why Delta didn't hire many of them...
Correction: 17% success rate of those on property at the time of CPP inception, not 12%. Sorry for the error.
