Fellow Furloughed Pilots,

As you are now probably well aware, Continental has announced plans to hire up to 200 United furloughed pilots. This is a great first step to returning us to the cockpits’ of the new United Airlines . Many of us have wondered when this might occur and with this question answered, we now have many more questions. As my colleagues and I work out the details of the new hire classes at Continental we will be in a better position to answer your questions.

In the meantime, I suggest you prepare yourself. I encourage you to read the Transition Agreement 7b (attached) to learn more about the guidelines we are working under. Also, please verify United Airlines has your current address. You may do this by calling the Pilot Service Center at 1-800-825-7533 option 2 or you may email them at [email protected] and provide them with your name, file number and contact information you would like to verify. If you find that United has old information, please email me immediately with your updated information at [email protected].

As you think this opportunity over and discuss it with family and friends please keep in mind two important facts; first, you will be a new hire at Continental and will bid schedules accordingly, second, some of these positions could be in Guam. As we establish the process for new hires and when we begin contacting you we will provide you with as much information as we can so you may make the most informed decision possible.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at the number below.

Sincerely,

Ted McCaughan
Furlough Coordinator, Flight Operations
