I can see how this is great for the company. They can see if a pilot refused to waive the contract at their old company, or used sick leave, or refused an airplane, and if they aren't a "company pilot" they can just pass on them. I wonder how many guys waive, fly sick, or take broken jets because they don't want to risk not getting hired through the CPP, since they know the company is tracking them?

Latest rumor I heard is 2000 new hires in 2018.
Seems grossly improbable to me. But I thought I'd share the data point to get everyone's hopes up. Source is supposed to be in the human factors department at TK.
Flame on.

But I am surprised at some of the pilots that I heard got through the process. Just like OTS.
Also heard the sick call rate summer 2016 was extremely low compared to previous ones.

Think you heard that wrong. 1200 is the goal and that is confirmed by New Hire Coordinator, the TK LCA department, and some high up ALPA reps. Let's nix this 2000 thing. Couldn't be done anyhow. 1200 will be tough enough. I hope so, but has never been attained. If they hit 800, I would be delighted.

"ever they called in sick"?
is that a performance measure now?
americans get a cold 4-5 times a year on average (CDC). pilots should not fly with a cold. so these guys are either equipped with super-immunity, or, they're flying while sick. if the former, they might help society by participating in research studies; if the latter, they better rethink their views on coming to the airport sick if they're scheduled to fly with me ...
