Just don't "FLUF" me.

 

well ual will not recall at all in 2012--- did any of u read the ual mec friday email-- they are parking 2-15 UAL 757's and of course taking on 737's to the cal side-- the exact scenario everyone keeps stating--- and of course the rumors of a ord and den 737 base and a iah airbus domicile will come to fruition prob int he first half of 2012.

and yes there is a triple type fo training scenario but mgmnt has already addressed this as they will give the union a few carrots, then ask for, and receive "RELIEF" from said "triple training scenario"

From Straight & Level:

Answer from Senior VP Flight Operations Fred Abbott: The B757 and B767 fleets, which are being replaced by B737-900s and B787-8s respectively, will see a reduction over the next few years. All the aircraft being returned to the lessor or being sold, have replacement aircraft on order. The current fleet forecast keeps the roughly the same number of aircraft on hand.


Rumor: Just heard that a 400 was recently returned from a charter company that was leasing the A/C from us, also another one is coming out of mothballs back to UAL.


Answer from Senior VP Flight Operations Fred Abbott: The B747 fleet is being reworked. The current fleet plan keeps about the same number of aircraft flying for the next five years. We are contemplating bringing on an additional aircraft as a spare. The cost of the interior refit may cause this not to happen.

 

Me either.

 

DEN is the second most senior UAL domicile, and the most senior medium sized domicile (800+ pilots) by a wide margin. If they bump from this domicile while building it with CAL pilots on the 737 without a JCBA and SLI it will be an absolute disaster. Very, very few of the current DEN based UAL pilots commute to DEN (less than 10%). Virtually all will choose to commute vs. move. We already have huge numbers of commuters from DEN to other domiciles. If you add in another 500+ into the system out of DEN to other domiciles, it will be a scheduling disaster. I, for one, will do no more than my commute plus one backup (commuter policy) and will simply go home when I don't get on my commute. Not my problem when UAL decides to move my job while replacing me with some other UCAL pilot without my ability to use my earned seniority (17 years this spring) to hold my seat. I'll simply watch the operation implode, which it will. Total and complete train wreck. Their choice, not mine.

I thought it was "The Lady: long legs, big cans, and she'll f*$k you if you get close to her" for the 757?

 

The parking of 757's was in the straight and level , which i accessed from the ual mec email

The. Ompany could give a crap less what happens or what it lloks like wrt new domiciles etc
Personally, i think they will begin to up the ante to **** off pilot group and then have the injunction get even stricter- watch
