got no thank you letters. That’s 8 people under a year with no reason to stay here. The program needs a change.
Wow, yet these pilots will be flying United passengers and representing their brand.

Imagine getting a no from Aviate and then being displaced from the 175? Most will probably leave in that scenario.

What a total scam.

We are referring to the union derived data from Aviate successors and those who were unsuccessful. Not CPP or OTS.

Not sure how that’s bitter but ok, whatever you say. Very happy you made it to UA. Perhaps had you applied through the Aviate program, you might not have made it. There’s a pretty clear CJO criteria that differs from programs of the past.
exactly. He keeps tooting aviate’s horn because he made it over with the CPP. CPP was a much better program than aviate. You can’t even compare the two.

That's 12% of the pilot list.

Discuss.

United has frozen all hiring and started offering voluntary leaves of absence. Definitely crap news.

They said no to all eight? Wow thats awful. The situation at my UAX regional is once you get a no from aviate, job apps go out to all the LCC's and one or two better ACMI operators.

Over Christmas new year we lost a stack of Capt and FOs to Jetblue and Frontier.

It's amazing how many times our HR can reinvent the program in an attempt to stop the attrition and get pilots to go to XJT and other CPP/AVIATE UAX carriers.

In 2016 when the CPP started, it helped stem the massive attrition of both CA's and FO's somewhat, as well as kept what would have been a record number of sick calls down that summer, and the next. Meanwhile interviewing and turning down a TON of good candidates. Morale drops, so they come out with the "streamlined CPP", wash, rinse, repeat. Then 'CPP 2.0", wash, rinse, repeat.

I wouldn't doubt it. CPP had days where up to 15 a day interviewed and only 1-2 were accepted into the program.

Wash, rinse, repeat...

I get the feeling they're going to do it again before too long but it will be the same old thing. A new name but lots of hoops to jump through making it unattainable for most.
