If UAL were really serious about the CPP, they would provide full acceptance into the program to candidates before day 1 of working at one of their contract carriers.

Basically no AAL W/O regional pilot will leave a job with guaranteed flow for the possibility of the CPP or a DGI for that matter...just sayin'...

They made an agreement with MSU in Denver where the students can do the CPP (hogan and interview) and after being accepted and placed the pool they have to go to one of the CPP carriers (CommutAir, XJT, Air whiskey) and meet the respective requirements to move on to United. So it forces the students to go to one of the regionals IF they wanna stay in the pool and go to United.

What is conditional reserve? I never saw that in the GOM or the contract

This is true. We have picked up flying in EWR for tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday from another regional. 200% payout for crew (both seats) that wants to get in on it.

GO COMMUTAIR!

Hey management how many emails are going to be sent begging people to come in to cover the flying? I am willing to bet that you will end up screwing people over and extending them into days off over this.

I'm sure anyone working here knows, there are no protections against getting extended if you pick up time. Just work your 6 days (because there is zero chance they'll let you leave before you hit some 117 requirement) and then disappear

I've already picked up some flying (back before the nor'easter right before the start of this month), then got extended into more flying. They also wouldn't give me 200% because I didn't pick up the extension (no asking, just you've been extended - no we're not giving you 200% because you've been extended). I haven't seen hardball this extreme from crew scheduling since last summer.

After being treated this way, I'm not even thinking about OT unless they start bringing back the green and offering 300%. I foresee that fatigue stoplight going yellow, and then red if this keeps up.

Is your add going to be like that embarrassing one that came out recently full of errors
