In thinking about the possible CPP changes, I believe there may be an initial interview or just the Hogan initially to get in the pool. Then around two years of being a Captain at said regional a Final Review of sorts looking back on everything adds up to a score to whether or not you can go to UA. Then you may get a second chance 12-24 months later if goals aren’t met.
The next standing bid will allow them to advertise 1-2 years as an FO, 2 years a CA and you will be able to get your place at UA. Some version of that will be in place imo.
Requirements for a degree still there, Company friendly policies (i.e Sick, Training, Upgrade) and hopefully the 25% of all XJT pilots to UA will be there still.
