There is some hope that this temporary United stuff could lead to a more permanent contract but given UAL's history with us and current mantra of "lowest cost at any price" I am not holding my breath. Still have about 300-350 on furlough with no word on more furloughs. That may change depending on how the block hours change in the fall with CAL.
