We have heard very little out of AC or any other usual soured regarding anymore significant recalls or new hire opportunities this summer, so one gets the distinct impression they are hunkering down and going to work with the manpower they have.
However, keep in mind there are 165 vacancies on the table at CAL already and if indeed the UAL side does truly recall this fall it creates even more openings on the CAL side, albeit going into the slower winter months.
Either way, one thing is certain: UCH needs to get it's act together and stop the slide in performance in order to truly compete with Delta and if US/AA combine....watch out.
