How does that work for employees at regionals then? Do the United pilots come in at high seniority, or do they start again at the bottom? If they start at the bottom that doesn't sound very useful since regionals won't be hiring anyway, and any United pilots that come in will immediately be furloughed upon being hired...
It sounds like no seniority. Just a job at second year pay.

That is exactly what it is, and it only gets triggered if we furlough beyond January 2016. Any furloughed United pilot would be put on the list just like any other new hire, except at second year pay and they can’t be forced to resign their United seniority number. This was written when the norm was for the legacy to furlough and the regional to expand. Who the he!! Could have seen this one coming. This is just nuts.

It all depends on what is in a contract. Apparently Delta negotiated a limited flow back for some pilots in exchange for more rj’s. United doesn’t have flow back, just a requirement to hire furloughed United pilots at the bottom, but at 2nd year pay.

United has some kind of flow back to UAX if the furloughs go deep enough. Problem is UAX is looking at deep cuts, parking jets and furloughs as well. Do some UAX guys get bumped to make way for mainline? Not likely since they never had a flow-up in the first place, uncharted territory.

Which UAX carriers? The one that they "own" in XJT? Or the ones that just signed up for that awesomely great AVIATE program? Do you think other UAX carriers like SkyWest, Mesa, or Republic are going to allow flowbacks? I mean, what agreements are in place here? Serious question.

Republic has a clause in their contract to hire pilots back that left and now fly airplanes with more then like 86 seats or cargo over 100,000 lbs. you keep your seniority for a bit too.
They have to be hiring for it to Work which is not the case right now.
