Only 12xx havn't been offered recalls, so the last group of recalls went through approx. 780 guys(?) So maybe 12% acceptance if military deferrals are counted as 'pass'.
Folks guess that the earlier(ie longer) furloughees might come back at an even lower rate. If 12% is correct the next 150 recalls will generate a phone call to every guy on the list(1200 x .12 = 144).
If we knew how many were getting recalled, and the acceptance rate, we'd be able to answer your question. At this point any answer would be a guess.
IF recalls continue at 25/month, and the acceptance rate stays the same, and IF the Oct/Nov date posted here is correct, everyone will have been called come the end of November.
Can you take any of that to the bank? No.
Hopefully the recalls continue.

As it stands right now - AA is still pitifully short on manning. I'm currently at the schoolhouse and rumors are flying around faster than a Citation I regarding some kind of 3 way circle jerk with JB, USAir and AMR, along with a whole other fleet type showing up on the property. Check airmen are also being hired at a pretty good pace. Something is undoubtedly in the works.

The small bases (DCA, BOS, SFO) don't tend to fly much on reserve due to the base size. So it depends... DFW, LGA, MIA constantly runs out of reserves. OVERALL the manning is tight, very tight. When the schoolhouse starts ramping up big time, that is the first sign that there will be recalls/training for quite a while. And that is what's happening now.

ORD 737 is overstaffed right now. Our lines are at 71 hours for April. I had an AE FT in the jump seat last week, he said he was sent home between ground school and simulator for 24 days.

Twenty four days off w/pay, great deal if you can get it. Back in 1990/1991 a guy got 3-4 months off w/pay.

So the "Three Way" would be after BK and Management decimates retirements. Which would mean a bunch of guys leave early to get their guaranteed money. Then they pick up B6 (Soon to be ALPA, probably), US Air (USAPA) and AMR (APA). What a fun SLI that will be. The new fleet type will be both B6 and US Airs Fleet of E-190's, and options for more.
That SLI will make AirTran and Southwest look like a walk in the park.
