He did say that the L-UA's side of the house 'expects' some form of recalls (small, big, or otherwise) no earlier than this summer-late.
Assuming that LCAL continues training through the summer (after reviewing CAL's seniority list, I saw that there were classes through the summer 2005-2008), the bottom LUAL pilot should be in class by late July.
· Return of the furloughed pilots: 160 furloughed pilots have been recalled to CAL. To get these 160 pilots they went through 825 pilots on our list. 125 letters are currently being mailed to fill another 26 slots available at CAL.
If they sent out another 125 letters, they sure haven't mentioned it to the recipients of those letters. I'd be in that group - Jun 2000 hire - and I've gotten zero indication that a letter's coming. The last group got a phone call letting them know an offer was on the way. That phone call was outside of the data verification call.
All of the Bayliner's numbers also appear to be off by a bit - on the order of one saying that 'a 747 has a takeoff weight of 1 million pounds'.
I'll post when I receive an offer letter but I'm expecting a phone call prior to the letter being mailed based on past practice.
