I know students looking to make a decision on a regional soon. They want details to make that decision.

Even if it happens, the numbers will most likely be underwhelming. Don’t come to Mesa expecting a quick ticket to United. Judging by the Air Whiskey and ExpressJet forums, pilots won’t even be told what number in line they are - by design. More and more it feels like a recruiting and retention tool, not a tangible pathway to United.

They should not make a decision based on this recruitment tool. There are a lot of other things to consider besides this CPP, which most pilots will not be able to qualify for anyway.

Wondering what you think will disqualify most pilots from the CPP?

This is sort of an odd question- currently Mesa has a Non-Line instructor position open- will the CPP allow those guys to enroll in the CPP? Also if your a line pilot and you're in the sim, do those hours count towards the requirements?
One other question- do you guys hire FO's as sim instructors? Or is it only captains?

Flight hours don’t include SIM time. So, assuming the requirement is 3,000 flight hours - SIM hours would not count.

Well the way I kinda figured is I really enjoy teaching but the idea of the CPP really appeals to me. I currently live about 20 minutes from the airport so if I could work in the sim and work towards the CPP at the same time that would be the best of both worlds? I don’t know enough about either situation; just trying to gather information.
