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.

What was the recall acceptance rate the first time around? I don't think they will find out this time around for years. We have 10 year recall and flight benefits during that time. I think most will keep using the cheap tickets and stay on bypass even if they don't intend to go back?

Last time many of us went back because we were forced to or quit. Some left really good jobs just to get furloughed again a few months later. It's just my impression many will sit it out and wait to see what the contract is before they risk a third furlough?
