Whether it's labeled the "CPP" or "AVIATE", that's all it ever was.

While you beat this drum constantly, it was amazing to watch how many that didn't at all conform to being a good employee at the regional made it though. Multiple training failures, often due to attitude. Terrible attendance record, again due to attitude and not family, FMLA, or whatever other issues.
And there's been more than a few from the CPP (pre AVAITE) as well that were complete head scratchers. It's not a one size fits all, BY ANY MEANS.
