Ual hiring discussion

[i fly boxes]

I've heard everything from September to 2014. Hiring in on the cal side, would ewr be the base out of training? I am assuming the new 737 bases at den and Ord are senior so Ord would not be attainable until the sli is complete? Last question, I assume it would be a continental type interview with airline apps being the selection method?
Oh one more thing, can I get the 787 out of training?
J/k

from another board

"Starting August 28th we have scheduled 9 classes of furloughed sUA pilots to the tune of 12 per week. I have been working with a small team from both sCO and sUA to formulate the policies, procedures, and protocols that the new United will use for off the street hiring in the future. What remains unclear at this point is exactly when that may be. While all furloughed United pilots have received an offer per the TPA, there are still roughly 1,100 furloughed sUA pilots that can reenter the mix when we have classes available with simply 30 days notice. As we draw closer to a CBA (you pick your own time line) we may see pilots returning from bypass status.

There are a lot of layers to this puzzle, with very little of the off the street process firmed up right now. What I will tell you is that our team in Pilot Development and Hiring is committed to getting information about the process to the line pilots as soon as it is defined."

This year..........EWR and IAH 737. Airline Apps and a CAL style interview. Hope that helps.

Any thing is possible but the 787 out of training is pretty unlikely, most junior now is an 05 hire.

The 787 comment was a joke RT8VA........

Considering CAL was hiring directly into the 777 in '06, it seemed like a logical question.

Thanks for the updates. I hope you guys can get this contract and sli figured out and be a dominant force going forward.

Wasn't DH paid at 50% at that time?

That's because they were hiring into the 757/767, not the 777. There were a few 757/767 newhire slots available. No newhires got the 777.

You can file Rattler's post in the same file as the statement from some CAL line pilots that there are some LUAL 777s that aren't ETOPS certified. LOL!

My money's on late 2013. A lot of LUAL bypassers won't want to go to the LCAL side and will hold out until the LUAL side recalls. ... and furloughees have 10 years' recall rights so most that are coming back immediately already have. There will be a few who come back with the new contract but I doubt that it'll be large numbers.

Actually Rattler is right. I remember getting bypassed on the 777 bid and seeing new hires going right into it. This happened in '06 to early '07.

They did hire atleast 2 classes, maybe 3 classes directly into the 777. I went into the 777 after 14 months at CAL. Of course after CAL reduced domestic capacity all the junior 737 Captains became FO's on the 777 and the junior 777 FO's went to the 737.

 

[Furloughed80]

It's true, newhires did go directly into the 777 at CAL. I believe 01/30/07 was one of the classes that had 777 slots. There was also much more than 'just a few' 757/767 slots.

Yep. A ton of classes were half 737 and half 756. The 777 was offered in some new hire classes. It wasn't that common, but it did happen.

So, what you're saying is that there were a few 777 pilots that didn't have company sponsored health insurance for the first 6 months? YAY!! I bet Nimitz was one of them.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Then there's the CA who showed up to find all three of the IROs were new FOs still on probation! He slept like a baby.
