Also, I don't know what you are talking about more Saabs for United. I have heard this rumor but I believe this rumor has been around for at least a year and half that I can remember. (When Buddy talked about new United flying in one of those newsletters, and then the new flying never materialized.) Maybe they are telling interviewees official news that they are not bothering to tell their own employees. I don't believe anything until I see it. In any case, I don't know how we can be picking up any more Saabs - don't we have 3-4 leftover Saabs from closing several US Airways flying last year?
That was exactly what I thought before I got to the interview last weekend, but what they told us (and anything can happen) is that united had called 8 days before our interview and said they wanted 4 new saabs out of dulles, but that's just what they told us. I'm not sure if they have a contract yet.
I believe that once they get the 2 or 3 classes for the saab out of the way, the hiring for the Q will start.
