It's a program where select groups have a dedicated hiring path to United. In the program you get the Hogan automatically, then if you pass that you can schedule an interview. If successful in the interview you are in a pool to start at United in seniority order.

There are a few different groups who have a CPP.

Regional Airlines - ExpressJet, Air Whickey, Mesa, and Commutair
Metro State University
Lufthansa Fight school

......but that’s not important right now.

Right, I created a monster by even bringing it up.

Any news? Bueller? Bueller?

Some 2/20 got the email, some still waiting...

any 2/27 CJOs get the class email today for 5/14?

2/27 here and I did not get an email today.

Waiting...
 

2/27 CJO here. Still no class date. Are there still others?

I'm thinking that after the vacancy bid closes on 4/30 they will have a better idea on what is needed. As far as I know the last announced class is currently 5/14 but I suspect more classes will be announced after the bid closes. Hoping for June personally.

FWIW, at this point manpower planning knows exactly how many unfilled vacancies will exist. The max/min numbers have been established to prevent any undesired backfills during this run. Thus, this bid has been sized to create the exact number of openings desired.

What "they" are doing, however, is waiting to announce class dates (and sizes) on a month-to-month basis when they have a better grasp of exact training availability. The class dates must effectively be offered to furloughed pilots first and that drives the timing.

If past months are any indication, we should be hearing about June dates shortly. :)
