Basically, the same as before except to be qualified, the pilot must have been based for the most recent 12 months out of either IAD or IAH. And, if a pilot transfers from one of those bases, they are no longer qualified.

Everyone then quickly noted that there were no IAD slots in the latest standing bid.

Is the CPP seniority based on your enrollment period or Mesa company seniority?

Your Mesa seniority applies to all pilots that meet the requirements, regardless of when you enroll.

Senior captains in IAH and IAD that meet United’s qualifications (that want to go back to flying in the right seat for United) must be doing cartwheels. For older pilots, an Xjet pilot told me United even took a 62 year old as a CPP hire.

I know last year at Xjet that United was interviewing pilots at the 9 year seniority mark. I assume that has dropped at Xjet since United’s hiring has picked up and Xjet’s pilot numbers are dwindling rapidly.

I’m imagining a good chunk that qualify will try to make the jump. Most the older guys in IAD are solid and normal. I would average them around 55ish definitely worth the try.

Anything more on this program? Has anyone actually been in contact with United’s HR yet? I noticed Delta started a similar program with all its non-wholly owned regionals.

Did they? I thought the delta program was just app review more often. Only thing I’ve heard is that the attendance policy is 1 call out a quarter.

What exactly is the United CPP attendance policy? That was supposed to be pravoided on June 1st.

Basically, what do we get beyond an application review and a call from HR for the CPP?

According to my buddy at SkyWest, Delta is supposed to review 20 SKW pilot apps per month.

Must be low on importance. I definitely commend DL for offering something to the pilots flying under its brand but an app review seems kinda weak to me.

I would prefer to see these airlines give more credit to time served under their brands.

I believe the United attendance policy is 5 events a year. A 4 day trip called out would be a one day event.

No wonder Mesa didn’t roll out that policy. Calling out sick is the only way a junior pilot can get a line and get a specific day off. I always thought 25% of our pilots would qualify for CPP. Probably more like only 10% of our pilots qualify.
