Look at the “success” of the CPP. “Aviate” is just a polished turd with a different name. Good luck to those that are in the program, but don’t wait around and hang your hopes and dreams on that scam. It is STRICTLY a recruitment tool United uses to staff their feed which is drying up and to keep labor costs down as long as possible.

Try everything you can to get out, ASAP.

Let me guess you didn’t make it?

2 unsuccessful CPP attempts = no Aviate

Say what you want, the numbers don’t lie. The MAJORITY of applicants for this “career progression” program are unsuccessful.

And I know quite a few guys who didn’t prep, had attitudes, logbooks out of date.... I could go on

But many of us did. My last contact with the union was an overall 30% success rate. Better then nothing and for many of us we never got the off the street chance to head to UA.

Hey flynd, I’m glad you made it out! Let’s hope others can follow.

From the captains that I fly with who are conducting interviews, the majority of those who don’t make it are because of attitude or failing the Hogan. It’s not a question of qualifications. Those who understand that these programs do nothing but enhance your chances of getting an interview, not preferential hiring, typically do well. They show up prepared, humble, and with the attitude that they are just another off the street guy looking for a better job. Those who don’t get application/resume reviews or interview prep, or treat the process as a formality because they think that they already fly for United typically don’t get the job. There has never been a guarantee and most likely won’t be. If someone fails one interview at a legacy they may get to try again eventually, fail twice and scratch them off the list of potential employers. There are plenty of pilots at top paying airlines who were shot down by another. Just because United says no, doesn’t mean that another good company will. I wanted American because of the DFW base, but that’s not the way that it worked out.

Anyone kind to share some of the questions asked in the Panel, appreciate it!

I have a feeling it will be completely random but here are a few :

Tell me about a time you got into an argument with a crew member...

Tell me about a time your ideas were criticized and how you handled it....

Tell me about a time you had a flight that didn’t go as planned....

These are a few.. some are easier than others.
