It is just short of the numbers that were rumored at the beginning of the program: 10% of each United class.

Just wait till United dips into the 5 year captains with the next round of CJO’s. Pilots here will start getting excited then.

Given who was hired, I need to go on a diet and get back into shape and grow about another 6 inches taller, or change genders.

Maybe you'll need to change your ethnicity as well?

The thought process was and is simple. The person looking outside for the runway is in the best position to transition and land the airplane.

And, on a CAT II, the transition of controls occurs between 200 and 100 feet off the runway - not at 50 or 30 feet. If it hasn’t occurred by 100 feet, a missed approach is executed.

On a happier note, our pilots in the CPP pool received class dates at United.
It looks like the crackdown at CATII has come. Do it right with an observer or be pulled off the line for additional training.

Just heard ExpressJet is sending 40 in the next United class and Mesa is sending 0 (zero) through their respective CPP programs.

Where did you hear that? That doesn’t sound right.

The United CPP isn't working very well for us. Out of the last 40 selected Hogan etc., 5 made it past the interview. Not sure how many of them have good enough background to go on to United. No one should be coming to Mesa if they think the CPP is going to get them to United.

I heard the 40 from an Xjet Captain (and I know they can lie or just be spreading a rumor) and I heard the 0 from Mesa pilots who just went through the latest round.

I don’t know about 40, but I know United is running 2 classes in January and 3 classes in February, so a large number of XJT should be going over the next 2 months.
