Once you meet the hour requirements, how soon doe you get move up to United?
Also, if I have previous 121 time, realistically, how quick could an upgrade happen?
Different answers for the same questions.
You will get to take the Hogan test and if passed, you will do an interview at UA. If you don't pass either, then you wait a year and start over. You only get to try twice. If you fail either, you are out of the program after your second attempt.
The number moving to UA deals specifically with the UA new hire classes. We get to fill 10% of the new hire classes with our pilots that have completed the interview process and have at least 1000 hours of PIC time at CommutAir. Since UA has had no new hire classes lately until this month, we have not sent anyone in a long time.
As soon as you get the hours (1000 PIC at C5) you will be able to move over to UA fairly quick due to the low number in the CPP pool. The trick right now is getting the 1000 PIC time.
Upgrade time at C5 is currently over one year and climbing on the ERJ. Management seems to think that time will decline again, but that will only happen if they can find people to come in the door to fill the bottom of the list with new incentives or better quality of life in the contract.
