Probably waiting for closer to Spring to build up for Summer flying. At my base I'm at 45% overall, but 2% below the G-line for January. Lots of reserves.

 

Given all the industry hiring of late, I was a bit surprised to read that there might be furloughs still waiting for a call. Just how high up the seniority list did the furlough line reach in the 9/11 aftermath (or what percentage of UA's active FOs and CAs we furloughed)? Presumably, many (most?) of these folks were picked up elsewhere since then, are already on the line elsewhere, and no longer waiting on a call from UA.

 

Don't know about % numbers but anyone still out has been able to come back for quite some time. They will most likely be captains if they want to be. WAG is hat they have great jobs they are milking to the last day. Good for them.

 

There are still 240ish pilots out on furlough they have all had the opportunity to come back. UA started running classes in 2012 and it has been the policy that the first right of refusal to all class spots since then belong to the furloughed pilots. With 30 days notice they can come back to any class being offered up until 10 years from their furlough date. Those dates begin to expire starting in SEP 18'-Sep 19'.

After 9-11 there were 2,172 furloughs they were all offered back by spring of 2007. United hired a few hundred from spring of 07' - fall of 08'. Then the second furlough hit with 1437 being let go. Those are the furloughs that are still out. So far since 2012 1200ish furloughs have returned to the line.

This is one reason that the United hiring numbers look so much lower than everyone else's. If you add our hiring numbers from fall of 2012 United has brought on 2200 NEW pilots and 1200 furloughed pilots. That 3400 number since 2012 is an average of 680 pilots being trained per year, about 57/month. Thats pretty close to the same numbers as the other three big airlines.

 

I believe total furloughs were 2173.

Total pilot list was about 11,500, with another 400 in the pipeline.

Ballpark: 20%.

 

Always curious to know where the guys still out on furlough are . I know personally a few at JetBlue that aren't coming back . Their timing was good at Blue and got senior and only have so many years left .

Out of the reminding left , I would assume / guess that its lower percentage of them coming back . At least I pray this a halfwinger

 

Well, “pretty close” if you say so. Meanwhile, at Delta....

The math is just a tad higher for an average per year.

~4000 in 4 years vs. our ~3400 in a little over 5.

 

If that number is true then that is impressive I didn't know they were doing 1000/year. The drop threads seem to be a couple classes a month of about 30 each........

 

It’s not a matter of “IF that number is true”, IT JUST IS.

I believe they had a couple years over 1K. They’ve gone high and low with some months at 4 classes totaling over 100 for the month;

Meanwhile, at UAL.......
