NOPE, NOT an interview. Simply a preferential selection process. Unlike the SSP with DAL. Which is an interview without the day 2 stuff. See below.
Nope, just means you'll get the hogan. Pass the Hogan, get an interview. It gets better, see below....
Latest number from XJT's MEC was slightly above 50%.
And that's UP from what the June-August rate was. And there was a TON of good guys that interviewed in that time frame that weren't "accepted". NOT just the old senior guys with an entitled mentality, hadn't interviewed in 20+ years and didn't prep, what have you.
First you have to pass the Hogan, which is around 80%. Then you have the interview, and this all comes in seniority order. So it may take a while to get to a class date based on this. Overall, I think there was around a 60ish percent pass rate, but you get two shots at the CPP. You also have two shots at getting hired outside of the CPP.

Probably the fact that you're working for dirt cheap and undercutting everyone else while doing so. Not the progression that the industry needs.

Based on your profile (170 FO) it's safe to say you were in High School or maybe even middle school when the whole Mesa sh*t took place. I'm curious, who do you work for? Please tell me its not Republic.

Competition for pilots? AA is 75% flow, >20% military, and <5% street hire. I'm pretty sure AA will not have a problem filling classes. Over the last 4 years AA had what, three or four AWAC pilots get hire? Yea def some poaching!

ORD will go to AWAC and EWR is going to CommutAir.
The XJT closures will be followed by IAH and CLE after ewr and ord.

These deals were hammered out on golf courses all over the world and cemented in the finest strip clubs that shareholder money could provide. They are the land owners and we are the serfs.

I think it was clearly not about pilot wages but airframes. AWAC owns half of their feet which have already been depreciated down to scrap value not on a contract, and the leases are up on the other half at the end of 17, offering opportunity to lower the lease rates. Part of XJT's money losing CPA with United is they don't have a good deal leasing the jets they're using.
