Bases are to be staffed to support ops in Sept, so Ual furloughed or off the street hires will need to be trained to fill vacancies. Just finished my annual MV/LOE and was told they expect to hire off the street based on the historical UA take rate and train throughout the summer, to cover vacancies. We'll see....but can't see how they can fill vacancies across the 737 without training this summer and hiring (as there are no reductions).

This just in...
The pre-summer training may overflow into May, but will not likely reach your seniority. They expect the Sept. 2012 slots to be filled by pilots already on the property
(that was from Chen)
followed by...
There will be additional hiring in the fall, but the slots in the new bases will be filled by re-balancing the pilots they have on property for the summer. As I understand it, September is the right time for this kind of re-arranging of manpower because of the seasonal reduction in manpower requirements following Labor Day. Manpower planning is very complicated, and the subject does not lend itself to easy description in newsletters!

Will LCAL pilots have their own Flight Ops at DEN and ORD or will they share the LUAL Flight Ops, and same with LUAL pilots in IAH? If so, are the LCAL planes now occupying gates close to LUAL Ops? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've been out of the loop for awhile.

It wouldn't surprise me if they went with 1-2 small classes/mo throughout the summer. This would be a slowdown but not complete shutdown of training.
