The concern is people not getting hired off the street (to UAL) once hired at C5.
As if participating in the preferential hiring program excludes one from getting hired faster off the street.

If I want to go to United (assuming all tests passed) I would still have to wait until my seniority would allow me? Meaning, I go to C5 and I am locked into a seniority based waiting line? I read about at least 1 year at the company before a move could be made. Only 40 "flow" per year?

You must have 1000 hours C5 captain or 3000 hours C5 total time in order to leave. Movement for any new hires going forward will be seniority based. The program was a little mangled to start but now they've ironed out the kinks it seems. There are open enrollment periods. Meaning you should interview WHEN you get hired, don't wait. A guy in my class got the street call after failing the hogan for the CPP. 40 pilots a year out of a 330 pilot list isn't awful if you ask me. Considering about half of the people who take the hogan fail it and a sizable chunk of incumbent pilots don't want to go.

Depends on the class, but the youngest guy to get it was in his early 30's i believe. The august class it was early to mid 40's

Yes, we have 6-8 erj's on property taking 2 a month
Upgrade is pretty much as soon as you have 1000 121 sic....if you come in with the time, you could get upgrade awarded to you in Indoc, or worse case a couple months
4 hotels a month, 6 a month if you have stand ups
