No, I have a more reliable source. The girlfriend of a ramper’s roommate knows a guy who’s dads step brother is married to a girl who’s gay brother’s boyfriend works in St George and said it’s a done deal. So it must be serious.

Hopes to be bought by United? The CPP won't improve in a buyout, I dont know why people believe the CPP will get better if UAL buys Xjt... it will remain the same lol

I think it's the hope that things can't be worse than being owned by Inc. I can see that.

If a flow were to be included, it would actually make the CPP worse.

I think most hope that being bought would mean an actual flow, like Envoy has with AA. The CPP or “guaranteed interviews” are pathetic carrots dangling in front of people.

Last I heard, 250ish were in the CPP “pool”. What does ERJ side have, 1200-1500 guys? So, basically 15-20% of the pilot group has been “successful”.

Well, lets be hypothetical here... eventhough a flow would never happen, lets play a game and say that it did happen. United would clear out the current CPP pool and then start a "flow" AFTER the CPP pool is cleared out. The CPP would be abolished once the last successful pool guy is in class at UAL. United would never all the sudden tell those guys ALREADY SUCCESSFUL that hey, sorry we are doing a flow now and have to wait for guys who we turned down to go ahead of you. So, if you are currently in the CPP pool and a flow was announced, no need to get upset because you will be cleared out first before the "flow" would begin. But, this is hypothetical which is always fun to talk about because in the real world of reality none of it would ever happen. This is no different than thinking what I would buy if I won the lottery tomm... lol

I think most hardcore "they bought us" guys are counting on the elimination of the CPP altogether if a purchase or flow happened. Just in the United way to put so much time and effort into something just to get rid of it.

Those 250ish are just in the pool. They still have to pass a "final review".. United CPP is a worthless POS...
