Some people interview many times with the same company before they actually get the nod. Both interviews were a very pleasant experience and I would encourage pilots interested to give it a shot and see if Commutair (and possibly United) would be a good fit for you.
I think C5 is a decent place to work even without the CPP. It would be nice if they have some feedback on the interview. Is your personality going to change that drastically over the next year? With Delta and American hiring mostly from their own flock it doesn't seem like going to a contract carrier is a great career move if you're not really sure you can pass the hogan, because UAL is prob your best bet. But if your on the fence I would let the CPP interview be your tie breaker. It's not very often you get an opportunity to take a risk free practice interview at a major.

I think it would behoove new hires without 121 experience to defer their CPP interview. The interviewers are really nice and friendly but some of the questions are difficult to answer without airline experience.
Also, they say the CPP results will have no impact on another application or interview, but my TBNT email was cc'd to ual pilot recruiting. I'm curious as to how many people manage that email address and if they will be completely unbiased in the future if they've received an email that you were unsuccessful in the past. Probably so, but it did strike me as a little odd.

I did the Hogan after the United interview. I was pulled aside by the United pilot at the end and thanked for coming in prepared. He then tried to give me some tips to help with the Hogan.

Can anybody share what current lines are like in IAD? Avg days off, avg credit, commutability on either end of trips, mostly 4-days or 5-days, etc? Any and all info would be helpful. I suppose if EWR is more commutable, I'd love to hear about that too.
