Just got my final recall notice today via Fedex. Don't know how many they are sending out, I was a June 25, 2000 new hire.
 
No, I am going to stay here at AirTran. I'm in upgrade now and at this point of my life seniority is everything. I couldn't see going to the bottom of an 8,000 plus list again. I would go back to year 2 pay (49 something an hour). Most of the UAL furloughees here at AirTran are staying, at least as far as I know.

I have talked to 2 of my other friends(UAL furloughs) that left UAL as well. One moved on to the construction side of things and the other started only to quit after his first week back. He is now flying a Gulfstream.

Back in 2000, if anybody would have told me that someday I'd give up my UAL number, I'd have thought they were nuts. Good luck to all of you guys over there. I guess I am gonna have to retire my screen-name and return as something else.
 
Just got my final recall notice yesterday for the 4 Jun class also (6/18/00 hire). Assignments will be half ORD, half IAD...split 60% A320 and 40% 300. Six more months of year 2 pay at 50.37, then bump up to 74.95 next spring, and 80.76 the following spring. Pay's not fantastic; but the 401K is attractive. Tough decision.....still debating.

Is there a minimum amount of time that the contract provides us between date of final recall notice and class date?

GP
 
30 days is the min time for the letters to be sent out prior to class start date. In this case, the final letters were sent out at the very minimum notification time...4 May for the 4 Jun class.

This was just posted on the UAL MEC board:

A friend of mine called today saying that his packet has been mailed out but he hasn't received it just yet. He is a Feb 28, 2000 hire with about a 7600 number and he is lined up for a July 9th class I believe. He hopes anyway. They are having trouble filling the June class from what I hear.

Sounds like 9 July is your do or die class.
 
How long is Untidy giving you guys.

How many days after you get your notice do you have to let Bob know. This last process seems a bit rushed.

I'll end up having about 9 days from the time FedEx dropped off the packet before I need to mail my response. That's because I was part of the second group the company contacted for the 4 Jun class. Doesn't leave much time to care of personal business if one has not been anticipating the recall letter.
 
Out of curiousity, does anyone have the date of birth of the youngest pilot on UALs list (active or furlough)?

9 were born in 1976, according to the last seniority list. I don't know if any have resigned since the last seniority list.

The exact DOB for the youngest pilot on the seniority list is 15 Nov 76. His seniority number is 8643 (out of 8655) and is back on property flying the 320 out of DCA.
 
My DOB is 1971 and I am 6900ish on the list.

I think 1976 is the youngest.

I stay FAR AWAY from the puzzle kingdom when I am not required to be there, just did a PC on the 767 last month. What are you doing at DENTK?

Send a PM
 
Puppy, have you made your decision? Good Luck! Has any more info been put out on Skynet or the Alpa pages? Yes, BT is at Boeing doing pretty much the same thing for more money. Anyone know where VP SF went? Did he just retire or is he working elsewhere?
 
I'd like to know about Steve too. I interned under Steve and Brad in MIAFO. Hands down, the two best bosses I've ever worked for.

I know Steve lost the respect of some of the pilots after 9/11, but I don't think anybody could have done that job under those circumstances and come out of it clean.

You have to be kidding me....You think these guys were even close to being the best....I would give them fair to average. The politics of TK and its overall decline is sad to see. Here is to hoping that changes are coming up soon.
 
No kidding. They were great. But I saw them one-on-one, and never had to deal with the consequences of their decisions.
 
Just got my final recall at United for a 7/9/07 class.

3/20/00 hire.

Don't know what to do. I'd like to get to UPS in a couple of years and go to Anchorage. My PIC turbine would be cut off if I go back to UA (barely 1000 TPIC by 7/9/07. Pay and QOL would also decline at UA for the short term (at least). It also seems to me that by staying at JB and hoping for UPS that maybe I'm putting all my eggs into one basket. Guess I'd be doing the same if I went back to UA and hope I'd survive the next downturn/merger/acquisition, etc...

Benefits of going back include ALPA's aeromedical, job protection and collective bargaining. Also the ability to upgrade equipment (and pay) is better (long term) at United.

Commute as of now is much easier at JB than it would be at UA, unless we move to, say DEN. All my trips right now are commutable on both ends. At UA, trips would be commutable on one end only (for at least the short term).

Sure wish I could "ride it out" like our military brethren or the Delta guys are able to do.

Would like to hear some input from United and non-United folks.

Good luck to all with their decision.
