So, how big do you think this “initial cadre” to go to UA “by the end of the year” will be?

I was told from a reliable source that we will all be there by the end of 2019. The only thing that could slow that down is being able to staff at awac.


See you on the line at United

I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic.

United is cutting our flights because we can’t staff. AWA isnt going to sacrifice its own bottom line for the sake of some program. It’s likely they’ll send 1 pilot a month only to justify it on marketing and recruitment pamphlets.

He was being sarcastic.

thanks stryker.


I don't have time to clarify clearly sarcastic comments. quick turns only allow for a walk around and a gyro platter at skybridge. Speaking of which mountain of lamb, here I come.

I asked this at my CPP interview in March. Air Wisconsin will make up 10% of United new hire classes. Express Jet is 25%. Between Commutair, Mesa and that flight school, 50% of the classes will be through CPP.

From my understanding:

XJT - 25% minimum
Air Wiskey - 10%
C5 - 10%
MESA - it's a mystery

If they are running classes of +40, my goat brain calculates that’s 4 ZW kids per class. Not too shabby.

Up to 4 from the CPP, Doesn't ZW have to agree to let them leave though?

Well, yea.

There are A LOT of hoops/barriers for anyone from ZW going to UA through the CPP.

Foremost being ZW needs to be over staffed.
