Any -400 Captains retiring?

I heard between now and the end of 2016, 37 400 Captains to retire. But remember, United is going to park 400's and with the 777 swap for the 787, they could be planning on reducing airframes concurrently with retirements.

It was a rhetorical question. Yes they might bleed the fleet staffing via aircraft reductions, but you'd think one of the most senior seats would generate some vacancies.

Probe, FMLA's a different animal than MIL LV. Even so, MIL LV would require threading a fairly narrow needle. And there was no cheating on MIL LV; I was required to give a copy of my DD214 when I returned in 2008 (accepted recall in 2006 but stayed on MIL LV for as long as I could).
Unless one had applied to return to active duty, the rules were restrictive on how many days you could spend on active duty. It was initially less than 180 days/yr, but that moved to 3 yrs out of 4 on a rolling calendar. If one wasn't back on active duty (just doing Guard/Reserve bumming), it would have been hard to not return on property in 2006-2009 unless you were hired in 2001 or so. Especially since most of us Guard/Reserve bums had already burned a lot of our rolling calendar days while on furlough. |

It's possible, but of all of my MLOA buddies (and I know quite a few), I don't know any who were on extended MLOA prior to 9/11. Under C2K, staying on extended military orders was a pretty big pay hit past year 2. |

Yes, fortunately, I think, we have new people running manpower instead of the guys that closed ORD 400 base.

Oh Lordy, does that mean the 400 reliability is going to decrease in ORD?

It wouldn't surprise me to see a surplus bid for IAH 737 CA, followed by a vacancy bid for IAH 320 CA.
