I read in the UAL Feb SSC report that the company was going to put out an updated "Flight Plan" shortly. Is it out and can anybody forward me a copy?

Thanks-

I don't know if it is out, but Attarian was at TK a couple of days ago. They are looking into spooling TK up in the next few months with possibility of 100-300 recalls in the 4th quarter. Subject to change.

 

I'm at a conference and heard 150-200 in the 4th qtr, to the CAL side. Nothing official. It would be nice if the company would give us some forward visibility.

 

Anybody care to guess at the recall acceptance ratio?

Heards it's huge at American, like 9 or 10 calls to a get somebody back.

I'll guess United will be much lower at 3 to 1....but when you take the twice furloughed into consideration it could be much higher.

 

See your Private Messages.

 

When I read the post on the United forum I initially thought Attarians comments could have been refering to recalls/new hires to either side, but the context was specifically to instructors at TK and how they are going to have to spool it back up. I am pretty sure he was talking about United recalls, (but subject to change). This brings up the question of what are they going to do if both sides need pilots? After the way we have been treated, I am pretty sure that there are a lot of United furloughees that would happily go thru training at Continental and then bail the minute they get recalled to United. If the cost is $40K to train a pilot and 200 pilots did that, that is $8 mil, not chump change. And then they would have to replace those pilots with others that could end up doing the same thing. I don't think they will have to call ten to get one, my guess is three or four to get one because our guys haven't been out that long. It's all a guess..

 

Still, if they call back 200, and it takes 600 calls to get them, that is a huge chunk of the 950 "active" furloughed.

So do those they call back have to immediately RESIGN?? or Defer to a Later time??

 

No, we have 10 yr bypass rights from time of furlough. So there is not any advantage to come back early if you are working on another career and are not ready to go back on the LCC slaveship.

LOL!!!
I work at a certain Federal position, and make "OK" money. I would come back if they dropped that "freeze". I'll do the time for a little bit, but want to be able to bid out of the "smaller" jets, and into the ones where I can Make the "real" money...
