Ok thanks, good to know, hoping to get 737 SFO.

Even if you don't get it right out of training, it shouldn't be long. I'd like that too but am seat-locked.

A320 IAH would be ok too, just trying to get back to LAX. I hear 737 would be the way to go since it's the growing fleet.

I could be wrong, but as I understand it, Returnees already have their a/c & dom, IF they are Military, Long Term Leave of Abs, Volunteer Furloughee, etc... but if they were an Involuntary Furloughee, they bid with the new hires.

(actually I think Volunteer Furloughees also bid w/new hires... I'll have to look that one up :)

LOAs come back to what seat they were in. (i.e. non-mil personal leaves of absence) formerly called LOA, now called COLA.

Even people gone 5+ years.

I'll see you guys there on the 27th. EWR would be the easiest for me.

It shouldn't be long at all for anyone that wants SFO in either the Bus or Guppy. They both had unfilled vacancies in the last vacancy bid.

EWR would be great for me as well!

Right...my bad. Furlough recall bypass (everyone not on a LOA and want to stay away) go thru new hire bid process with the rest... All other LOAs are GtG.
