So, it looks like the new pathway program is "Aviate". It doesn't look much different on paper than the CPP, except now you have to do a technical portion. I clicked on the apply link from their website, and it just brought me to AirlineApps.

I'll be keeping my ULCC class date. Enjoy Aviate.

 

That is considered industry leading and a big splash! haha Why go to Xjt when you can go to Envoy and have an AA number?!!

 

Haha, I'm sure this will slow the sick calls..... It looks like lipstick on a pig but it hasn't fully rolled out yet so not casting full judgement yet.

 

The email sent to UA folks state this:
Hogan/Being UA
HR/Tech interview

Pass the above and you get a CJO. 2000hrs/24 months at Xjet and you go to UA. No more final review BS.

 

The selection board is still there and if you call in sick on a holiday, late to a flight...ect. It's the same thing as the old CPP with an extra test and technical questions. Definitely lipstick on a pig.

 

You sure on the review thing?

 

There is no final review. That’s where all that came into play. Yup, you do they same process of an off the street candidate but, you are guaranteed the Hogan/Being UA by working at Xjet.

We’re you expecting a flow? United has stated repeatedly they want nothing to do with a flow. There are rumors of AA change their flow parameters.

 

According to the what’s on the FT website

 

Just the whole part about “maintain good record” thing. Then there’s the “engage” thing. That’s new.

 

I actually think it's worse than the CPP.

"What is the selection process?
