That’s a pretty shortsighted dig at another pilot group. They were the only real game in town for a lot of people that wanted to live in Houston, not commute, and have a reasonably quick upgrade.

Lame post award.

Nope. Not according to guys who should know that I've talked to and higher management at Air Wis.

All parties I've talked to agree that it would be very unwise for Air Wisconsin to 'hold' successful CPP pilots from receiving a CJO and class date from United, even if they could do so. The 'word on the street' would get out quick and damage Air Wis' ability to attract pilots.

When I spoke with a former Air Wis Pilot, now at United, who recruits part time for United and oversees the CPP for Air Wisconsin, he thought the CPP doesn't give Air Wisconsin the ability to hold a CPP pilot back from going to United.

Words and actions are two different things. We shall see soon right? They did say 3rd quarter 2018 for CPP movement. There's already a thread here titled Air Wisconsin or Go Jet. This place is not only a sinking ship but it's been on fire before it hit the iceberg.

According to a pilot I spoke to, one of the successful CPP pilots was in the crew room today and confirmed he was invited last week to a September class with UAL in DEN.

Reduced flying and better staffing as a result gives an even greater ‘argument’ against hypothesizing that Air Wis management would ‘hold’ a CPP pilot back from United.

Peace.

You heard of one guy getting a class at UAL. Means nothing. Plus, reduced flying is not a good thing. It’s because they can’t hire or retain.

If they don’t send a couple pilots this year through the CPP that would be the end of this place. They have to send a few to increase morale but it’s going to be minimal. Like ya said. You heard of ONE.

It would be nice to get some info from the company about how the CPP is going. You get a list of employee numbers for those that applied, but nothing about who passed or how it’s going to work. Word of mouth just makes for bad rumors.

I dont think the company is going to make any announcements. Asked MP about it and he sounded like Baghdad Bob.

Two are going to to the second class in September, none to the first class. Class sizes are about 40 each, 2/20 is 5% of each class: AirWis CPP.

UAL has consistently been running two classes a month. If that keeps up (no reason to see why it won’t) that will be 48 AW CPP a year.

Has anyone gotten the Hogan for the 2018 group? Interviews scheduled?

5% is still movement, but it could take a looong time for even someone who has been here 3-5 years that may have just upgraded
