At the time of this writing, the next system bid is due out soon. After much work by your System Staffing Committee, the bid will include an LAX base with approximately 60 B-737 crews.

Thanks for the post. We will see if any of us at the top of the UAL list get a chance from this bid.

Downers say NO, not anytime soon.
Dreamers say 400 recalls.

I think it is somewhere in between, but not manana.

Does anybody think (U)Cal is going to bring back any furloughed (UA) pilots to fill the openings created in the other domiciles, vacated by those (Cal) going to LAX? Or, are they just going to run short(er)? I'm trying to be optimistic, but don't see any of us getting recalled until there is a new JCAB, at the earliest, or more likely, movement (retirements).

From what I hear from the CAL Pilot recruitment dept do not expect a recall until LATE summer--Also I hear some 570's are "pulling up the ladder I got mine" all over again.

I think all the 1473 should be called back BEFORE any new bases or routes are added. The whole RJ-70 debacle is upsetting at best.

Things can change of course.....I was pretty upbeat last year but from the cheap seats the MEC aint impressing me all that much.

60 CREWS?

That will make LAX bigger than GUM.

The LA flying is already there. They are just shifting the crews there from CLE and IAH. This will not require any new pilots. It will save the company thousands from eliminating hotel costs in LA.

Sorry, I was looking at the last system bid results and comparing...even then my math calculation was off (forgot to carry the 1!). 12-03 states 57 CA/66 FO slots = 123
