Default How many furloughed UAL pilots going to CAL?

Does anyone have any idea what the rate will be on the furloughed UAL pilots who will actually accept a job at CAL? My guess is 20%. Any others?

I would guess 450-500 to get the 186 ? number they are looking for. First class of 12 could go that deep while people watch round one and then jump in.

Think calls are this week. Start at the top of the list Monday, maybe?

Rumor has it that the first class has all 8 Guam slots are in the first class and that it will take 400 to get the first class filled.

If this is true, then it will pretty much put the 189 voluntary furloughs in a 30+ day by pass cycle. This will also allow more junior guys to come back until the 30 days pass.

It's going to be an interesting and telling week.

Be prepared to answer.. First CAL class is going to be 8 out of 12 slots to GUM (As per Ted, UALWHQ). Don't be surprised to get a call next week, if you are 400 down the list.
Bypass or NOt! Will you take it?

Think they will get some takers in the first 200. To finish filling the first class down to 4-500. People looking for different flying and/or lifestyle, people with no job or a worse job.
Question is how deep they will need to go down the furlough list to fill the last slot 7 months from now.

Good question....

IMHO, some of the later slots will actually go more senior since a certian percentage of pilots that intend to accept the offer --but currently employed-- will wait so they are not at the very, very, very bottom of their fleet/seat/base. There's a big QOL difference between a bottom lineholder and the 8-ball on RSV.

Agree completely. Why I tried to say if you are 4-500 down the list and get a call for the first class it may be your only call to fill the announced hiring.

Yes, that's entirely possible.
