FO here from another carrier. I fly the 145. Wondering when C5 will begin classes for the 145. Considering making a jump based on what is currently happening with my base, but I'd like to stay in the 145 and not learn a second airplane in less than a year. Any insight would be appreciated. Also, I hear and have read in previous posts that most of the CPP candidates are being turned down from UAL. Is there a common reason for this? What can people do to be better prepared to be successful with the CPP/UAL interview and Hogan test?

At a minimum, you have a great time at C5, some of the best people out there. Treat the CPP as if you got the call off the street because the interview process is the same. Do the interview prep, get your resume looked at, take your time. There isn't a need to rush it if you aren't ready.

Cannot stress this enough. Prepare as if you would on your Type ride for an upgrade. We treat every CPP client the same way we do a traditional UAL client. Call us if you need background info on the Hogan.

As a side note, this company is getting very bottom heavy and they are looking to upgrade as many people as they can. If you arent too keen on flying the jet and have a 1000 121 time you can upgrade as soon as you are comfortable. We have about 20 more FOs in a company of 210 with another 20 coming in March. Usually you want more Captains. Basically no reserves and a bunch are waiting for the jet. Im sure the seat lock isnt forever since jet is slowly coming online with most of the first batch of crew being in house checkpilots and such. With the bonus and uniform allowance youll make about captain pay first year. Just something to think about.

Right now I'm waiting to see what happens with our IAD base. Lines have shrunk to a point where the rumor mill is firing off that the slow down is more than the normal winter slow down and that IAD might close. Nothing official and the company has said the lines will build back up in the spring/summer. But if they don't, I want to keep my options open. I chose my current company for the driavable base and short reserve time. Though I've been here seven months now and am still on reserve. The next two or three months will determine what I do. I do not have 1000 121. Only about 300 right now. I appreciate the info guys. Thank you.
Where is C5 going to place the 145s? I've heard different things.
Thanks again.
