Overall, I think there was around a 60ish percent pass rate, but you get two shots at the CPP. You also have two shots at getting hired outside of the CPP.
And that's UP from what the June-August rate was. And there was a TON of good guys that interviewed in that time frame that weren't "accepted". NOT just the old senior guys with an entitled mentality, hadn't interviewed in 20+ years and didn't prep, what have you.

ORD will go to AWAC and EWR is going to CommutAir.
The XJT closures will be followed by IAH and CLE after ewr and ord.

These deals were hammered out on golf courses all over the world and cemented in the finest strip clubs that shareholder money could provide. They are the land owners and we are the serfs.

I think it was clearly not about pilot wages but airframes. AWAC owns half of their feet which have already been depreciated down to scrap value not on a contract, and the leases are up on the other half at the end of 17, offering opportunity to lower the lease rates. Part of XJT's money losing CPA with United is they don't have a good deal leasing the jets they're using.
