This is now and not 2010. The number of excess pilots has been exacerbated on the UA side going into the winter schedule due to the rapid parking of the 757's and reduction in hours on the S-UA side. The decision of the Arb's of when the MD for the snapshot is taken will be the determining factor for how much slack was in the system. For the summer they had canceled all LOA's and forced pilots back. They have done this several times since 2010.

Didn't L-CAL have reduced hour lines to help prevent furloughs? When did those stop?

You can't look at the current staffing and say the same staffing state existed in May of 2010. The S-UA side has been hit very hard with hour reductions and aircraft parking.

How about we let the list come out and abide by the arbiters decision based on the facts and arguments presented to them.
