The final review period is just a quarter (3 months.) The “2 years” is just an example accounting for a person successfully interviewing, and then waiting for their CPP seniority slot to come up for final review.

FWIW......almost every story I’ve heard about people getting burned “for no reason”.......had a reason. They either don’t want to admit it to people, or don’t want to admit it to themselves.

But YES, that must be awful feeling. I sure as hell was sweating bullets for the same exact reason.

Nobody knows. You don’t know if they looked at the final paperwork or if bad information was sent to UA. Not saying anyone is/has/was sending bad info, but people make mistakes, and those mistakes can cost you millions in a long career.

Again, zero transparency.

Its been made pretty transparent, that some are good enough to represent United at the regional level but not at the major level. Doing the essentially same job, carrying the same passengers. 🙃

The only reason I heard from a guy that was turned down after essentially having the job for 24 months was that he refused an aircraft that was having pressurization issues coming out of Mexico. He felt the high terrain in the area was an unnecessary risk and didn't want to play games. Very safe and professional pilot. This happened about 2 months before the final review.

I'm no scientist but I can't think that sort of thing would promote a good culture.

Being "accepted" is NOT having the job.

The rather condescending letter one gets pretty much outlines that.

I don’t understand, United didn’t like the fact that he refused an aircraft in the name of safety? So they wanted him to shut up and fly?
