it aint gonna happen that quick number one and number two--- i highly doubt UAL can train 60 a month quickly. UAL was begging pilots to take LOA's as recently as this month! UAL is overstaffed!
400 to get 40? i highly doubt that , more like 80-100 and thats only b/c of current military committments, other jobs, and having a better job and waiting on the sidelines--- the people who snatch it up are the ones who played the unemployment game , enjoyed their time off and the cabin fever is getting to them.
this entire process is embarassing
I clearly remember when UAL trained 100 a month in the late 90's and those were all new hires (long course) not recalls with many more fleets to train into. Some of the recalls would be short courses, my guess is you could easily do 100 month of recalls. The thing to watch is if they start bringing PI's back to TK in the next few months. That is step 1.
Your correct UAL is overstaffed in Dec and Jan.
But are you also stating UAL is overstaffed for May, June, July, Aug 2011 ? If so, let me borrow that crystal ball so I can figure out where to put my PDAP money . Please
