That's where I've heard people are having the biggest issues. Though the Hogan is the same whether you get hired off the street or through the CPP program. As far as the interview goes I've heard some people saying interview is no different, and some saying they intentionally make it more difficult.
Either way, if you're interested in joining United and you are not former military, a LCA or go to meet-and-greets with a type rating, then I have to assume that the CPP is the best chance for you to get an opportunity. Worse case scenario if the program is not to your liking, you get the time required to go to the LCCs, get a type and go from there.

If you pass both the Hogan and interview, you will have to have a clean background (sick calls, etc.) and build enough hours at your company to be eligible for a class date at UA.
The original group of pilots that interviewed in the program had issues with UA recruiters pulling airline apps that were not up to date and they claimed that pilots lied on their applications and they were escorted out the door because of the old apps that UA was using. That has now been taken care of and they are pulling the corrected / up to date apps right before the interview.
The only part of the CPP program that seem to be different are the % of pilots from each airline that they are putting in the new hire class. I am also not sure how the CPP program works with the Lufthansa instructors. They are the only other group that has this CPP besides the regionals mentioned above.

If you don't pass either the Hogan or the interview the second time, then you are out of the CPP program.

Where are the 30% acceptance rate for the CPP for commutair and the 50% rate for express jet. If everyone is "in" but only 30/50% are getting the nod that isn't that great, better than off the street crap shoot to get a interview but not as great as their selling it.

Air Wisconsin puts you in a Radisson, you can have Sunday seafood brunch with a chocolate fountain, and, they know what they are doing and treat their pilots with respect. No brainer
