If you mean XJT, yes. Word is we will need street CAs in 2020.

Upgrade just went to under 3 years.

Give it another few years and the regionals will be gone from attrition anyway.

United’s number one core value is safety. The aviate new hire program is about getting the best pilots to United, which increases safety. It weeds out the jack wagons, which understandably, you are bitter about. If you have skeletons in your closet or are a lousy pilot, just go to a WO at American and flow straight to mainline with no interview and no college degree required.

Is it possible these other 2 Express carries also do flying for Delta or American? IE SkyWest? I doubt Delta would allow SkyWest to have such a program with a competitor which would drain their pilots. Just a thought.

There’s a world of difference between an E-Jet and a Boeing or Airbus. An E175 is a basic jet trainer designed to be operated by extremely low time pilots. A 1500 hour cfi would have a much more difficult time transitioning from Cessnas into a 737.

You can reapply one year after a rejection....FYI.

Not with the new AVIATE. One time only.

United has hired more Skywest pilots in the past five years than ExpressJet and they didn’t have a CPP.

Stop throwing your fellow ALPA pilots in hole they didn’t deserve. Clarify how this increases safety at United? You are admitting that United cares less about safety at the regionals because it only matters when a United customer flies on mainline? That sounds reassuring to the passengers United sells tickets to.

Sounds somewhat similar to the Destination225 program that SWA just launched a couple months ago.

Don’t forget United’s #1 core value is safety! If you read the disclaimer in fine print it only applies to mainline flights, not the other United subcontractor flights that every United passenger has flown on at some point.
