Not true at all, the last bid had IAH 757/767 coming down to within 18 seniority positions of EWR.

i predict the ratio will be 2-3:1 and guam will go within 250 pilots

I predict the ratio will be 10 calls to every 1 taking a job at CAL

Mmmm, you sure about that?

Or perhaps what exactly do you mean by this?

I thought about bidding IAH 757 and I'm a few hundred from the bottom and I decided against it because I'd be a handful from the bottom. So even if you had the chance to bid IAH, you would basically be the wedge at the bottom for quite some time.

Until we get those 787 guys out of their current aircraft, there's really no movement anywhere.

UAL Double FURLOUGHEE, hired in 99' I will be on the bypass list.

Good luck to those that take it, I would love to meet the CAL group and do some IAH flying--but I will pass for now.

10-1 is about right, most of us have found better jobs elsewhere. I do expect all the GO-JET and SKYWEST furloughed bubba's take it .....but I could be wrong.

I am about 70 from the bottom and I could have been on the 757/iah on this last bid.

I would love to go to Guam, and I need employment. Too bad I am 1,220 down the list!

I am bout 1400 down - don't worry there is ALWAYS somebody that has it just a little bit worse. Hope you get the call as futile as that sounds......

Go to CCS and check the bid award for yourself. The bottom 15 or so positions in IAH 756 are furlough returns. The bottom active person in IAH 756 is only 18 senior to the bottom EWR 756.

I think all of the UAL furloughees are going to get a chance to go to CAL. Lots of us have other jobs, or are in the military and will be on military leave and have to bypass. Lots of us don't want to go to the bottom of CAL and would rather go back to UAL. I think the people who frequent these blogs are the exception and most of the UAL furloughed will never go back. Most estimates I get from friends who have ties to UAL training say it will be about 30-40% TOTAL best case when United recalls them.
