"I was also told when training begins again "we will contact you for a class date and arrange for a phone 'interview' to confirm your status". Not sure what the 'phone interview' meant but I was too busy picking my jaw off the floor from the previous bad news.

I'm jumping into this profession after 20 years of Mil flying. I'm starting to think I like the stability of having people shoot at me versus the unknowns of the airline industry (kidding, sort of)."

Again, good luck all, I hope things improve.

THis is not the first time UAL (or any of the majors) have gone through this mess... its the industry... and will be this way forever. Stay in for another year if you can... then start up when they call you.
