United Aviate

Why did United only include their worst performing and least reliable regionals in their cute new Aviate program?

Is it just a recruiting tool to fill seats at these bottom-feeder airlines since no one would otherwise choose such a poor QOL?

Or is it because they’re UAX-exclusive (aka American & Delta rejects)?

I think Mesa is one of the best performing United regionals consistently.

All these regionals have undesirable bases.

I read you could be at United in two years? Is that correct? So everyone at those airlines longer than two years bombed it?

Yes.

It’s a new program, all they have to do now is apply, and successfully complete the interview process. The CJO should include normal background stuff and the 2yrs/2000 hours of service.

I still don't get it, everyone hired prior to Oct 2017 has been passed over?

Some opted out, some didn’t back it twice, some are waiting for their second chance and the rest are on their first try.

I was in the CPP. My timeline was Hogan 5/17, interview 1/18 and butt in the seat 8/19

If you want the Aviate program join on if the Aviate regionals. If you don’t then shut up and color

No, the program has only been around for several months. People prior to now(ish) where eligible under the CPP as highlighted above. The people now who are still on property more than 2 years/2000hours of service either don’t know about the program, haven’t applied, didn’t know pass the interview, or are just not interested in moving on to UAL.
