Is UAL still going to furlough in Sept, or did they finally think better of it?

If so, did you guys get all your sick time used up?

Good luck to all-

I was furloughed in 03 and went out with about 0 sick time left....made for a fun last few months.....

but I bet there will be many many guys who get intimidated by the company and will go out with a bunch left.....

too bad

Actually, the September furloughs were cancelled through voluntary leaves (98). The first furloughs are October 29, and total 48. They may reduce that number with further voluntary leaves.Randy

Good to hear. Hopefully they won't have to furlough any...

Randy, I wish that were true. BUT, it is not. I was originally going to be furloughed Sept 10. However, because of some voluntary leaves (thank you BTW), I was pushed back... A WHOPPING WEEK!
So now it is officially Sept. 17.

And Farm Boy, Hell would have to freeze over for NO FURLOUGHS to happen.
UAL has a plan up their sleeve I am sure.

I am mistaken - and I am at the bottom! I am a 2172, so I feel for you. How many were in the 17th group, and is there another before the late October 48?

Short Bus Drive

Don't know. But look at Skynet under flight ops, and furlough information.

Good to see that it's not just management at UAL with lousy ethics.

Of course, if I misread your "too bad" comment, my apologies.
