CFI to United....0 turbine time required.

Is there a max TT limit? Like a "you can't have any prior 121 time" requirement? In theory a regional pilot could apply to this and flight instruct for 18 months and go to UA instead of upgrading and getting the 1k TPIC or whatever threshold that would otherwise warrant an interview...?

No published TT max.

The Hogan is the only thing that really matters. The rest can be worked around.

There is no need for this besides keeping instructors around. This, like every flow scheme, hurts regional pilots by enticing them to stick around at subpar carriers with the carrot of a free job, and we lose by getting the slugs who have festered at the top for years without trying to improve themselves.

"The slugs who have festered at the top for years without trying to improve themselves."

Wow. Read much airline history? Champing at the bit for a job in the CPO? Or higher?

What I mean is that these programs are used to make new pilots come to ****ty companies that they normally would not think about due to the false promise of a UAL job and rewards guys who would never get an interview if their life depended on it because they've been at [insert failing carrier] longest. I am all for seniority and no I do not want to be a chief pilot, but these policies only benefit UAL's bottom line, not regional pilots, not the instructors who work wherever this ATCA place is and definitely not the fresh FO's looking for their first job.


Go on the DAL forums and ask them about some of the Pinnacle fellas who got the NO INTERVIEW jobs handed to them.

When it comes to the XJT CPP, that is mostly true. However, they're FINALLY getting down to the guys going to class that are better than the first interviewed.

As far as the DAL SSP goes, there was a similar thing with the CPP. They're interviewing pilots that don't have their log books in order, haven't put on a suit/interviewed in like 20 years, didn't do the prep, walkednin with an entitled mentality, etc.

I believe that once they once they got through that, the SSP rate went up.

Whereas the XJT CPP got to the good guys/girls that have been applying for years, did the prep, went in giving it their best shot and not getting "accepted". And the rate hasn't gone up.

All because someone's little empire and being told who to interview, etc.

I am currently in class at UAL ,with a bunch of xjt CCP guys , all been there for 15 years plus , all great guys with plenty of experience to go around . Took them a long time for the program work in their favor , many of which had job offers after the 2006/2008 crash which didn't get honored.

All had to go threw the same loops as everyone else . As far as this new programs concerned , well that's a whole other story
