But I don't see the other two following in their footsteps. United's CPP has almost no teeth and Delta is trying to phase out a lot of regional flying.
It's not the case at UA now but as UA brings more and more programs such as CPP it will lower the odds of a street-hire.

What argument am I making? look back, that was my first post on this topic and I'm not even saying what is right and what is wrong just the conviction on this board that they have to prove the other guy is wrong! What is comical is the dick measuring contest between people on these boards trying to say their decision was the best and everyone will see in 5 years that not only will they see that their own decision was bad but the person that "told you so" was right and damn we should've listened...

I love the way people argue now... I'm going to make a preconceived notion on the other guy so that I can hammer that made up ideal of my antagonist.

BTW, relax... this is not pointed at you specifically but more the general state of this board and our nation in general sadly.

Yes street hire will likely continue to be increasingly less likely going forward. I know the flight schools are hyping the shortage like crazy, but for many reasons it won't happen at the legacies. They are getting apps from so many different facets of aviation not just regionals and LCC. The people at the non flow/cpp/dgi companies are telling themselves they all will easily walk in to mainline. Very small chance of that being the case.

Will AWAC still fly for American Eagle, or is this in addition to American Eagle?

You're right. I'm happy for AWAC and their pilot group. I was fortunate to call AWAC my home for nearly 9 years. Good bunch!

I'm not 100 % sure but from what I've read it seems AWAC will shift 65 a/c from AA to UA.

If everyone offers some kind of preferential interview, doesn't that mean no one has a preferential interview? Even if we don't believe that, United has so many regional partners that there really isn't any exclusivity. I don't see Delta or AA expanding their programs to non-WO. That leaves plenty of seats at Delta and plenty of seats at United available to off the street hires. LIke I said, the CPP has almost no teeth.

That's what I thought, but AWAC only has 66 a/c per Wikipedia.

My guess is they are parking one more which will get them down to 65 and sometime in 2018 will repaint and start UA flying.

That's a good way to put it.

Sorry, my knowledge is limited to XJT's CPP, but the thinking when it came out was that United's "hiring" of XJT pilots would simply shift where they came from seniority wise. As in, at one time, XJT pilots were the largest group hired of regional background, with SKW being second. UAL would still take XJT pilots at roughly the same historical percentage, just that most would interview via CPP ang go to class in seniority order. Although an OTS is still an option.

But that's not the way it's working out with the high shoot down rate. I've only heard of a few that interviewed via CPP that would have waited months, if not a year to go over on the CPP. Only to get an OTS HPI/interview and circumvent the CPP. And guess what? I've heard of 2 now that we're "accepted" into the CPP and waiting to go, THEN got an OTS intverview, and WERENT HIRED.

Point I'm getting at/short story long, the XJT CPP ISNT at all a hindrance/barrier/block to OTS hiring. Unlike AAG's WO who are contractual t make up a healthy amount of newhire slots.
