We all know mgmnt will let the date come and go and get a deal struck with the unions that if a ual guy accepts cal he will forgo going back to ual to eliminate any increase training cost. I totally see that coming.
If cal were allowed to hire off the street while ual peeps stayed furloughed- their would be a pretty large battle cry
We all need to just quit speculating and just wait for tk to ramp up- then we can start speculating on numbers.
Flight plan is supposed to come out soon/ if not already as per the ssc report
I see lots of hazards to taking the CAL recall. For one, I'll be stuck commuting to reserve for 2+ yrs. No, I'd prefer to wait until the JCBA is done, SLI worked out and preferably close to a line. The absolute WORST outcome I can see is to go back too early and get furloughed AGAIN. I think I would shoot myself. And yes, I really think it is possible (or maybe I've just been conditioned to think that). I'm tired of the frickin roller coaster. I've met a lot of single/original furloughees who now have 5+ yrs at SW/FDX etc. Definitely wrong choice to come back the first time. IF I come back the second time it better damn well be worth it.
