Default United Begins CPP with Aviation University

https://www.denverpost.com/2018/02/06/metro-state-united-airlines-aviation-program/

Looks like a trial at this one school for now. I'm sure more aviation schools will follow.

1.) Students with at least their IR, CPL, and a 3.0 GPA may interview with United.

2.) If accepted into the CPP, they are set up with interviews with ExpressJet, Air Wisconsin, and CommutAir to build their United Express hours.

3.) Move on to United when their CPP number comes up.

Uh, how so? It's working just fine for people in the pool. It had low success numbers at first, and United 2017 hiring was slow, but things are picking up.

Expressjet will be a distant memory by the time they've got their 121 hiring mins. Just announced, ERJ down from 84 to 73 lines in EWR due to staffing levels...
