Bases are to be staffed to support ops in Sept, so Ual furloughed or off the street hires will need to be trained to fill vacancies. Just finished my annual MV/LOE and was told they expect to hire off the street based on the historical UA take rate and train throughout the summer, to cover vacancies. We'll see....but can't see how they can fill vacancies across the 737 without training this summer and hiring (as there are no reductions).
