I would take it as United has a process for updating their website content that is slower than Mesa. United would be pretty upset if Mesa started advertising a CPP program if one didn’t exist. This is probably not high on the priority list of those maintaining United’s website.

So, yes, I believe Mesa has a CPP program with United. I believe every Mesa pilot who has been, is a, or will be a dedicated United Express Pilot should fill out the Mesa CPP form, regardless of meeting the stated qualifications. Let Mesa and United sort the requirements out.

KC, aren’t you a pilot at Republic who was last touting an IAH base?

In other words how that IAH base working out now Mesa has a CPP and our preliminary hours for July and August are up, see below! You can take that Republic recruiting poster down in B Terminal now.

IAH on the FO side looks covered with just a few coverage awards. IAH CA has many coverage awards. Nothing like we have been seeing in the past.
IAH was flat May to June. I'm told preliminary information is expect a jump for July and August.

What a joke.... Mesa can’t even get the FAQ right after all this time. There is a reason that regionals that have the CPP have segregated their UAX pilots. United does not want to recruit for American.

My prediction is in the next 6 months or sooner that United drops it’s CPP arrangement with Mesa because of the entanglements.

If we don’t place someone with United in the next class like CommutAir and Air Wisconsin are, it is time to go somewhere else.

Probably has something to do with the fact that half the Mesa pilots barely speak English?

How many guys with 2,000 hours tpic, a 4 year degree, haven’t busted more than 2 checkrides, no training failures or absence programs at Mesa, and Mesa is their first 121 operation do you think there are? I suspect a meager 25%.

Anyway, there are plenty of qualified CA’s at Mesa under the most stringent rules. We lose them monthly to SWA, Delta, and United today. If we can’t place at least 5 into the next class at United through the CPP, Mesa’s CPP is a farce (just like the ATL base).

Great news on CPP for IAH and IAD based Captains. Hopefully, we will see they head out for the fall United classes to really generate excitement.

Any DFW, PHX or SDF Captains planning to bid to IAD or IAH for CPP?

It’s not just for captains. Although most senior will mostly be captains.

The email avoided what percentage amount United will take from us. Not a good sign. We’ll see some go, but I don’t expect a lot.

ExpressJet is 25%. United took 23 for the June class from ExpressJet.

CommutAir is 10%. I can’t see Mesa having a smaller percentage than CommutAir.

Anyway, my expectation is at least 5 Captains leave by the end of this fall.

I will once I can hold a line in IAD. The first bunch should be IAD captains with them being so senior. But not sure how many of them have degrees.
