True and not true. Remember this whole airlineapps "points" idea was created to prevent lawsuits and unfair hiring practices. You need to hit their minimum point threshold through airlineapps. They can't just cherry-pick AWAC guys. Though this distressed carrier status may allow some captains with strong resumes to get an interview I can't believe it'll help many FOs. Perhaps those that attend United job fairs may have a chance but without knowing for sure.

Luckily the LLCs are hiring at a good pace too, so it seems everyone can leave if they so choose.

I don't mean to fan the rumor flame but I talked to a manager the other day who said he expects something announced within the month. Though no one except the board members and CD really know what's going on, it seems like there's a lot of things going on in Appleton. The CD email coupled with the email from the chairman of the board of directors make it seem as though something will happen sooner rather then later. It makes sense too if their worried United will take our captains and other regionals and LLCs will take the fos. We have about 510 pilots now and if attrition keeps up well be less than 475 by March.
