The program wasn’t made for experienced pilots. It is designed for newer pilots ideally being steered into flying for the lower tier (cheap) UAL regionals. United saw those regionals obviously having recruiting issues because they’re cheap, which is why United likes them. So to keep them going the CPP and Aviate were designed.

Covid hit just before they started dipping into CFIs and college kids and making the flight school. So it looks like this was a trap for experienced pilots, but really they never got to a point where they could use the program as it was intended. Until now, because those regionals are hiring again. We’ll all find out if Aviate is able to recruit enough younger pilots into these regionals. Otherwise UAL will have a problem on their hands. That is unless they literally buy a flight school and send people into those regional airlines contractually………….
