I’m a United pilot and have two friends in new hire training at Commutair now.
A few questions about CPP. Anyone know the approximate recent pass rate percentage on both the hogan and the interview? How long does it take to get the interview as a new hire if you pass Hogan after IOE? Are there any hogan test prep companies out there?
Thanks in advance.

It is advisable to get some line experience before the interview depending on the background of your friends.

I don’t know about the rates, but heard they have improved. I was able to take the Hogan before Indoc. I still have not done the interview because United stoped interviews for the summer. We received an email just this week stating interviews were starting again. I was told by the CPP person at United when I received my Hogan results, the interview has to be completed within 6 months of completing IOE since I started the process before Indoc. I don’t know the time frame if you start the process after training.

Hello CA,
I currently work for (Envoy F/O ORD base) and I'm considering making a lateral move to CommutAir for a better QOL. How long can one expect to be on reserve as a Captain (2018 hire)? Are the reserve captains flying a lot nowadays or can you expect hours of airport appreciation? Finally, what does the typical reserve schedule look like for the month (i.e..5 on 2 off)
My plan is to complete FO training and immediately thereafter place my bid in for captain upgrade. I'm ok having to wait for 3-4months before upgrading. Gives me a chance to learn the operation
Thanks in advance,

You would likely be a reserve captain for a year or two as a DEC. You might also be stuck as a CQF depending on how many captains are below you.
They'll fly you a decent bit on reserve (expect 50+ hours a month).

Leaving United TK (United mainline training center) today after recurrent sims. Word here is 80 pilots a month indefinitely including Summer. If true (be careful - TK always a rumor mill so take it for what its worth) should mean more CPP pilots since we’ve (UAL) been barely hiring last few years. Best of luck to you guys moving up and onward.
