The CPP is the strategy that United has in order to recruit pilots to its regional feeders. Companies flying as United Express are the bottom regionals of the industry. Hence, United is concern about staffing such regionals, and CPP is the best idea they have come up with. Don't forget that United plans to grow capacity, around 6 percent each year, for the next 3 years. This growth is based mainly on regionals. XJT's CPP is 25%, and XJT has only sent 100 pilots in 2 years of CPP. 50 a year, or 4 a month. If we parallel this numbers, at 10%, Mesa will send 20 pilots a year. If you are pilot with senority of 200, it may take you 10 years. Given that everybody qualifies and remains employed for such a long time.

The Mesa pilots who are qualified will have moved on long before 10 years if United doesn’t hire them. And, it is my belief that only about 25% of our pilot base will meet United’s basic qualifications: a clean PRIA, no training or FAA failures, 4 year degree, etc.

Mesa is already sending at least half that number now on an annual basis to United.

Well, when ALPA used to publish hiring numbers using pie charts, 45% of United new hires came from XJT. Then, CPP was implemented and that number reduced drastically. CPP is not a recruiting tool for United, but rather, a system to attract, retain, and control United's regionals staffing
If it is a tool to attract, retain and control their regional’s staffing, then I suspect the video claiming a pilot must be based in IAD or IAH to be accurate. Why would United want to help American attract, retain and control the regional pilots at American’s bases?

Only time will tell for us. United hiring is supposed to increase as retirements and growth continue.
