The other program UAL has is the Lufthansa flight instructor program. If you are a CFI, you apply to be a CFI at the LH flight training school in AZ. If selected, then after you get your 1500/ATP, you flow to UAL narrow body...you don't go to a regional at all. I don't know all the details. The program was announced in Aug 2016 and has already started.
(Cape Air has flow through to Jet Blue...not a major, but you may want them...)

Our latest 50 seat acquisition mentioned something about an agreement with the carrier, Air Wisconsin. Not sure what the details are but it appears they will have some sort of program with United on preferential hiring.
Air Wisconsin secures United Airlines CPA deal
Air Wisconsin (ZW, Appleton) has signed a five-year Capacity Purchase Agreement (CPA) with United Airlines (UA, Chicago O'Hare), the Appleton-based production carrier's chief executive Christine Deister has announced.
In a letter to employees seen by ch-aviation, Deister said the CPA entailed the operations of sixty-five CRJ-200s within the United Express family. The aircraft will be inducted into United’s network commencing no later than February 2018 with the contract set to run until February 2023. There is also a two-year extension option, she added.
"We expect our geographic footprint within the United Express network will include hubs in Chicago O'Hare and Washington Dulles," she said. "We are working with United to minimize disruption to our employees and to retain as much of our existing physical infrastructure as possible - including our Milwaukee General Mitchell, Norfolk Int'l, VA, and Columbia, SC maintenance facilities."
Air Wisconsin has a previous relationship with United having operated third-party flights for it from the 1980s until 2006.
Air Wisconsin pilots will also have the opportunity to enroll in the United Airlines Career Pathway Program (CPP) which provides qualifying pilots with the opportunity to become pilots for United mainline.
The contract comes as a similar CPA agreement with American Airlines (AA, Dallas/Fort Worth) to operate sixty-nine CRJ200s under its American Express banner ends in early 2018.

Thanks for the answers. Seems to be a long shot for a very select few who may already have an in w/ united (ie captains son). Also seems like not nearly as many as from the regionals with the cpp, but at least a trickle to show just enough credibility for prospective cfi's.
