In doing so we can hopefully continue this thread of mainline hiring. Nice weekend to you.

Reading what I wrote, I never said 'you' were negotiating publicly.....just pointed out that UAL's CFO, Ms. Mikells (mgt in general) see's it fit to do so. Speaking at least from what CAL's MEC has said to it's pilot group, SCOPE will NOT be pinned 'for sale'. Believe me, CAL pilots are WELL on board in NOT letting this topic back into Mgt's lap. You would be hard pressed to find those saying otherwise in the CAL Camp.
Flying with a Company Check-airmen presently.....he has echo'ed much of what this thread has been saying about future CAL hiring. The 'anticipated' CAL bid due out within the next 30 days will have more vacancies even after all 147 CAL recalls have been offered, thus resulting in the need for CAL to dust off the desk's in the Pilot Hiring Department. From what he's heard, after all CAL recalls have been offered to the 147 CAL furlough's, there will be UAL prefs (some or ALL, was not specific) mixed in batch when things spool up and interview invites go out.
At this point, just a rumor.....but none the less.....good news in the right direction.
