And I wouldn't expect there to be any letters or calls to United pilots until Continental manpower planning finishes the bid, awards the positions, contacts our furloughees to see if they are coming back, and then determines how many positions they have left to fill.

As I said before, just running the combined numbers from this bid and the last bid, IF all our furloughed pilots return, that will leave unfilled vacancies after this bid is awarded. According to those pesky "rumors" again, the company expects only about 70-80 of our furloughed pilots to return (have always questioned why they know this or how they come up with this number, esp. in this economy). If that is true, then there could be more opportunities for more of our furloughed United brothers and sisters.
