So its 42-40 total for the 1st bid. The United Guppy base used to have about 400 pilots out of it so it could end up being a big base again.

What I posted was L-UAL on the UAL side. The L-CAL side of United has their own. I think its 20 Guppy Captains and 20 Guppy FOs or something like that.
So its 42-40 total for the 1st bid. The United Guppy base used to have about 400 pilots out of it so it could end up being a big base again.

Remember, you don't hear other airlines calling it the Guppy (which really is an Airbus product anyway). It's only you L-UAL guys.

IAH has 107 F/O slots open on the 756? Does that number seem high? ****?

Right. But its not likely they are going to impose restrictions on the Guppies ,767, or Airbus since no one asked for them. So someone with a Guppy Captain bid that hasn't started training is likely to have to rebid with their new seniority.
For the 747 and 787 there could be.

Also, in the MOU all training will not be cancelled post SLI as it says:
"The following awards will not be cancelled:
-Any award that is past the effective date of the associated system or vacancy bid."
This means the 13-08 pilots will still be trained if they have not already. I heard there is about 100 of these pilots left.

It just seems like it would be easier to use the "7" and the "3" key to call the plane what it is, rather than typing g-u-p-p-y every stinking time.

Could that be due to the impending L-UA B757-200 yard-sale to FedEx to absorb some of the numbers
Did the Scarab get a workout over the summer??
