I don't know if anyone actually got fired, I think I remember hearing that the only reason anyone even found out about it was because someone bragged about it. I'm pretty sure it happened in the eighties.

If this was the event back in 07 ish time frame, then I believe it was an eastbound flight capt in rest area, probably 3 coach seats, 2 new guys got fms fuel warning as computed arrival fuel was lower than entered reserve fuel. It was common to put 1000 to 1500 lbs below release computed arrival fuel as a heads up to a problem. There were some radio comms about a divert as the capt came up from the back.

Tried searching but couldn't find it... Can anyone say the total pilots in ORD? Please and thank you!

Around 1600

The story I recall hearing on this one was they'd gone into VNAV to get a single engine drift down altitude, which results in a "insufficient fuel" message. At least this is the story we were told at TK in the "don't be that guy" lesson.

Go to alpa.org and log in. Go to the UAL MEC page. Committees. System Schedule. The monthly System Schedule Committee report has a headcount table. Lots of other good stuff in there as well. 1676 is the headcount for ORD in July.

A-320 New Hire out of LAX
 

How long do ya'll think it'd take someone hired in 2018 to hold A-320 out of LAX.

Once in LAX, what would the QOL be like for the first 4 years (# of days off/ability to choose what days off you had).

Thank you in advance!

Is this still the plan as of now?

If you didn't get it out of training, you'd probably be able to bid into it within 3 to 6 months (assuming you didn't get the guppy out of training).

Currently, seniority is definitely better on the guppy in lax, as that's where the growth is at the moment. The bus has been stagnant/shrinking in lax for the past 1.5 years. If things stayed as they are now, you could probably hold a line within about a year to 18 months, and probably working weekends in that same time. Bidding reserve at the 18 month point, you'd probably get at least some of the weekend days off. If we end up buying some more buses, then all of the above would drastically change.

Im not saying this to be a dick or sarcastic.......There is no plan right now we are all in the dark. What we do know is that next year we start getting 737-MAX8s and in 2020 we start getting 737-MAX10s. Supposedly we are getting 15-25 more A319s. We are getting 4 more 777-300ERs and the last 5 787-9s next year. We start getting 787-10s next summer. I think the number is around 200 new planes. Where are they going to fly? Who knows.
