Good. Eddie is an *******. He disciplined pilots for medical reasons.
Fired one for depression. Seatlocked another for sleep apnea and tried to discipline one for a death in their family. He doesn’t deserve to have any position of authority. I hope he gets sent back to the line and had to fly like everyone else. Then again I heard he’s a crappy pilot anyway.

So you have to instruct until 1500 hours, have a bachelors degree, AND be employed for least 18 month before applying to the CPP? Then wait some more? Definitely targeting career flight instructors. Just go the traditional route and fly at the regionals. It would be about the same amount of time. Now, if they had a pathway to Lufthansa, that would be a different story lol
The LAT USA / United Airlines Career Path Program offers qualified flight instructors a direct pathway to a US Major Airline. Candidates who are qualified and selected will, after 18 months of flight instruction with LAT USA and meeting the program completion requirements, be placed in the hiring pool at United as a First Officer on their narrow body fleet.

It’s a pathway to United. You go in as a relatively new instructor and the 18 months that you spend there are technically the same 18 months that you would have spent somewhere else building your 1500 hours. If you can’t pass the Hogan or weren’t able to pass the United interview you can just go apply at a regional after your reach your 1500hrs/18months and go from there. I’m sure it’s not easy to get hired at the school and the United interview is probably very challenging as well since they are essentially hiring a fresh instructor, but for those who are interested I think it’s worth a shot.
I’m reading this to mean that if in the 18 months instructing with Luft. you pass the Hogan and the United interview you will then be placed in the United pool after 18 months. Now, I don’t know if there are any other shenanigans that might pop up like the school keeping you as an instructor for much longer than the 18 or so months. We would need input from actual students of that school for that.

You have a year from hour hire date to enroll. It’s been 6+ months since the second round of CPP enrollment closed and as far I know no one from that group has taken the hogan yet. Could be tomorrow, could be another year, no one really knows. The people through it successfully are moving along pretty regularly so I’d anticipate sooner rather than later but no one really knows.

I’ve heard ~40 this year to United. Not sure if that’s accurate though because the last couple months have only been 2 a month. Unless we do 3 a month that number is likely to fall short. The good news is, United is looking to hire 600-800 pilots this year. Though there was recently an ALPA merger meeting between UAL and B6. Not saying there will be a merger, but if there is, it may temporarily stop hiring.
