As stated before, UA has nothing in their contract that applies to being hired at CommutAir. We have NO aircraft over the size of 50 PAX.

With that being said, we do have applications from UA pilots and they will be looked at.

Does anybody know if those who had CJOs/Class dates around March/April are getting called back? Or were they put into a pool?

Beyond that you'll have some mainline pilots who have been told that the recovery could be about 5 years- they won't give up their seniority and if you think they would you're naive or have forgotten seeing them get recalled after their great recession furloughs.
Are you saying a furloughed mainline pilot who accepts a job at a regional will lose recall rights at the mainline airline they are furloughed from?

No. The opposite.

Mainline pilots will take the regional job, wait out a recall and go back when things get better.

UAX carriers will be furloughing to offset UAL block hour scope limitations caused by decreased flying in 2020 long before they start hiring UAX guys again - or anyone else. And UAL-ALPA is not going to even consider giving management additional scope. They wouldn’t do it even before they were going to have guys furloughed.

Not at CommutAir since they only operate 50 seat jets. The LOA in the United contract is only for airlines that operate 70/76 seat jets.

Any educated guess as to how many they will hire?

50 seat block hours will be cut for scope.

I was responding to a post suggesting that United pilots had preferred hiring at CommutAir and would be getting interviews. I imagine that the 50 seaters will take a hit when block hours are reduced due to reduced mainline hours when the look back kicks in. They will probably fully utilize the 70/76 seat jets and use the smaller planes for what is left.

50 seat operators don’t have to offer any preferential hiring to furloughed UAL pilots. I personally talked to a management guy from a UAX carrier that was obligated to offer preferential hiring back in ‘09 and they were not a fan of the program at all. The United guys seemed to always try to tell them how to run their show and say “well at United we did things this way”
