It definitely seems that getting the off-the-street interview will get you to United much more quickly.
Thanks again for the information.
I think it’s more that the CPP people are first on the list, and they are still working their way through them, not some kind of “keep the regionals staffed through the summer” thing.
Too many variables to say OTS would happen “much more quickly”. The people going now were a month or two from getting the call when covid hit. The off the street hires that didn’t make it to class before covid had the same delay. Someone hired into Aviate now, if they meet the requirements, could theoretically go before the end of the year. Plus there’s no guarantee they’ll ever actually call you OTS.
