Why not just announce they're getting the UA flying, do the recall, and then hire the rest? I doubt UA cares how TSA finds pilots, just as long as the planes take UA's customers from A to B on schedule.

It makes one feel so used and manipulated. The total lack of respect and treatment like a human being with a family and decisions to make is just so far from the thought process of these clowns. Its no different than placing an order for used parts or something. You just place the order and no need to deal with the human element.

Its a shame that this is the way it is...on many levels.

Maybe because they didn't get the UAL flying? Just a thought.

If they did get the flying we would have been given class schedules last week. This isn't just additional flying, if they're talking about bringing all of us back and UA is even asking for that it would also mean extra airplanes. TSA does not have the airplanes for 130 more of us. There's the UA RFP out, the CHQ 50 seat flying that's done next month. So it's not that simple, at least it looks like it now, give them more time.

It is that simple. Hulas has done all of this before. He is just doing it to a new group of people this time.

Has done what? All I got is a one paragraph letter that says we might have classes in Dec. I'm not holding my breath because it would seem like a big windup to go from no pilots and planes to extra flying for UA.
