Did any of you read the Aviate program flow?

Private pilot paid for, the rest out of pocket and graduate with a CFII, MEL. Cost just under $80k. Total hours somewhere near 300. Oh and no College Degree out of the program from what I read.

Move onto partner organization and teach until they reach 1500+ hours, then fly for RJ outfit and if the candidate has kept their nose clean will be offered the dream job as a F/O with mainline United.

My estimate total time from start to UAL 5-10 years starting from zero. But the needs of the service could reduce or even expand those times.

Just think about how many will drop out of the process along the way.

In the mean time UAL still needs to hire pilots and probably only a few will come through the program.

Will there be any significant changes in “diversity?” Probably not, because for the next 5 plus years there just won’t be an expanded pool of qualified pilots who fit the profile.
