So the CPP is essentially the same as Commutair, if not worse because we have a higher PIC requirement (double that of Commutair).
So much for the promise of drastically different and almost flow like they've been telling people.
"Starting in 2018, we have a guaranteed number of spots every year for Air Wisconsin pilots in United’s new hire classes."
Not saying how many per class, or what % of the class needs to be from Air Wisconsin is telling. It must be really low. So that's great, assuming they only take 2-3 a class, this really doesn't help anyone except the super senior people that have 3,000 hours with the company and will be able to move on if they're taking a low number.
It's nice to have in the back pocket, but this seems like nothing more than a carrot to attract new hires.

Agreed that it sucks overall but the "super senior guys" have closer to 20,000 hours with the company and any captain on property has at least 3,000 hours.

It's going to be interesting like a snuff film to see how this ends up shaking out. I can't imagine we can send more than 3 or 3 per month for the first 6 months. Them we should see the true numbers start to develop. We can't lose more guys than we hire and that will, as always, will be the determining factor.

Need to explore those lifeboat options after the SkyWest pay agreement.

PHL is currently the junior base.
Flying for UA starts in September.
IAD will see the first activity. DCA will be the first closure.
Announced UA flying for Sept and Oct supports their claim re ORD.
If you joined us now you'd probably be ORD out of the gate.
I came from another regional for a host of reasons, zero regrets.
Good Luck!
