Example 1. Aviate. Twelve year United Express guy. Spring 2019 waiting for a CPP interview. Was told the program was being redone and to wait for interview invite in new program (Aviate). Waited until Fall of 2019 when Aviate interviews started. Interviewed. Got the Yes. The program requires an additional 6 month wait to transition to United. (In addition to hour and time commitments already completed). That led right into Covid. Waited another 15 months for classes to restart. Hiring starts. CPP pilots started in June. As of now, no Aviate pilots have been invited to Class. Still waiting....
It actually goes back a little farther than that. I missed out on the the initial CPP because I was out on medical leave. When I came back in late 2018, I tried to get back into it, but was told that they weren't interviewing any more under the CPP because they were reworking the program.
I just wish that they would come out with a number per month that they plan to take. Knowing whether I was 1 month away from going to the review board or 1 year away from going to the review board would be extremely helpful to those of us from XJT who just can't slug it out at our UAX carrier until our number comes up.
