Poolies are filling classes until Jan. Feb may need off-the-street hiring but the TA is really putting a lot of uncertainty into the mix. Just have to see of it passes or not by mid-December.

Is the uncertainty with the TA in regards to how many UA furloughees would return? Also, does this TA not require additional man power then the current seperate CBA's require?

I am curious about this also? If the TA passes, does it entice the people (who are most likely gainfully employed) who turned down the L-CAL job offer, to suddenly take the job? In regards to the manpower I am not sure, I read in another thread that 800 more pilots would be needed as a result of the work rule changes. Totally unsure about that though.

Yes, the changes in work rules would require about 800 more pilots due to the change. Formerly CO side.

Where did you get this number? I ask because FO Tara Cook, EWR FO Rep stated to me (in front of a handful of other pilots../20 Nov) that the number was less.

Then the UAL MEC Rep in attendance stated 370-400 pilots needed under the New JCBA and he also stated that the company's figure was 600 pilots.

Then again, after seeing the misleading info in the CrewNews, having my Reps lie to me and watching ALPA cave.. I really don't believe anything most of them say anymore~

Plan is to still hire/train 48 mos until the summer. Then resume in the fall at 48 mos. There were about 60-80 poolies coming.

TA could have an impact on furloughees returning or sure. TA may require more hiring but not sure of the number and the real scope implications.

That number has been around sUAL for a couple of years. Don't know what the CO people are saying.
