I'm one of the '08 hires as well. They will be honoring us once vacancies are available and not filled by L-UAL furloughs. I hear there may be a re-interview since it's been so long.
Not sure when to expect an offer because furloughed L-UAL folks who previously bypassed offers at L-CAL can get in at their leisure when there's a slot avail. Maybe in a month or so we'll have a better idea what to expect after the system bid is released and a plan for classes beyond October is devised.
