Agree with most of your points, but your math is off. 544 pilots/36 does equal 15 years for everyone on the FLICA list to go.

The high number guy that’s going to UAL in November was the 36th person on the overall enrollment list that was last released.

Some of the people above him have not interviewed, because they enrolled at the end of the window. Some of them did take the hogan, or interviewed, but were shot down. Some of them don’t have 4 year degrees. We don’t know. And because we don’t know, speculating on how long it’s going to take for this program to work through the list is meaningless. It could be 3-4 years for a guy that just got hired, or it could be never.

The CPP is a expedited ticket to interview at UAL (twice!), and that’s it. I think the biggest problem that most people have is that it is marketed as “career progression” in the same way that the AA WO’s market the flow. It’s not.

Not to mention the fact that if our CPP is structured similarly to Expressjet or others it’s a percentage of each newhire class. This was a slow year for hiring at united so it’s a small total amount of us going. As they start hiring more and more more people should theoretically be going every month.

What we don’t know about the CPP is pretty bad, and completely shameful. We have no idea what the Hogan or interview pass rate is. Guys who are on the list have no real way of verifying how many people are ahead of them that have also met the requirements.

Actually, not really. Since hiring began, TO DATE, it's been the 3rd busiest. If they have all the planned classes, it's shaping up to be the 2nd busiest. 2015 saw about 830 new hires. This year should be over 600.

Last year was slow, with just under 300. And 25% of those were XJT CPP's. I can't remember how many were Commutair.

There was NO information sharing from UAL, the company (XJT), etc at first. It was all word of mouth and pilots that voluntarily shared their experience.

Good to know; I’d heard it was slow from several people but it’s mostly hearsay at this level. I wonder if our percentage is super low or if ZW is metering the number of people leaving.

The big Boeing pilot hiring projection indicates 1 in every 5 regional pilots will be hired each year, starting in just a few years. That hiring rate will be sustained for a decade or two out.

How does this square with what you all are saying right now?

Things are goining to change radically in the regionals, in just a few years.

They can’t plan more than about 45-60 days ahead.

But this year has seen more classes than expected, but probably still won’t hit the initial projection.

But hopefully it keeps going, and AWAC gets a definitive % and you guys can see some movement.

It’s FINALLY starting to move at XJT. Only took about 2.5 years from CPP announcement.

Last week at DEN TK a fellow AWAC CPPer stated he was told 10 this year, then a defined percentage starting in 2019.

I know if 5 gents that are onboard via cpp, so the game is work it albeit not as fast as we’d like.

Surprised it’s only 10 this year with UA with them adding classes through the end of the year (4 total).

How much lead time did you get with notification before class date?

So funny how everything is a secret in regards to the CPP.

There's no secret, it's because there's nothing to actually advertise about. If there was real promising news, they would talk about it. Meanwhile they brag about iPads and a training hotel the packers stay at.
