Could a new hire FO go to united via the CPP? Of course. How many years will that take? Nobody knows. It could be a long time. This misses the point though:

The CPP generates movement and movement = better quality of life, a faster upgrade, faster PIC time resulting in a more attractive resume and a faster off the street hire. The CPP is a win for everyone at AW even if it is small and even if a new hire FO gets hired off the street by UAL or SWA or AA or [insert major here] before their CPP number comes up.

For those who plan to just wait out the CPP and hope it works out I think they will be very disappointed. It can be a great way to get the list moving but it's not a career plan. See the numbers I posted earlier in this thread though and I think it will only make a good situation that much better.

All they did was lie (shocking I know) that our CPP would be like a flow and so much better than everyone else. What we got was more of the same.

Come here knowing your CPP won't matter and management will treat you nothing like family and more like trash.

Who hurt you PKP

No one hurt me. But paying attention to what they're doing to all the front line employees here. Family oriented company no more. The stories of people being threatened to get flying done or else YOU will cause a flight to cancel is sickening. They did to themselves and then they have to audacity to blame us when everyone is being run ragged and exhausted. Things could be worse, but this place is a far from sunshine and rainbows like they continue to claim.

Very good advice .... the same applies to all the flows programs.

Flow is a totally different beast.

Still at mainline. Better than stuck at a regional until burnt out by 65
