    Good news for a change!!

    Just talked to a friend at AMR. I asked him about it and he said that the recalls were the result of the agreement between APA and AMR on the TWA merger. These recalls are because of contractual obligations that AMR has twords their pilot group and not because they have to call back pilots...

    The Industry is getting better.

    UAL727, I was replying more to skydivedriver's post than yours. I think when the airlines furloughed all their pilots last year and early this year I really think the executives and bean counters probably thought and hoped the furloughs would last a very long time and thats why they did them...

    The Industry is getting better.

    who cares what makes a furlough cost eff It really does not matter how many years a pilot needs to be furloughed in order to make it cost effective. If the economy turns around and people really start to fly the airlines will meet this demand. They are not going to avoid recalling pilots...

    UAL-Bye Bye Avolar

    CHICAGO (Reuters) - UAL Corp.UAL.N , parent of United Airlines, said on Friday it will shut its business jet unit, Avolar, after finding no viable options for the company in an industry hurt by the Sept. 11 attacks and the weak economy. UAL said earlier in March it had stopped seeking outside...

    recalls by majors

    I agree with tj I think it will be 2004 sometime before the majors are back to where they were capacity wise. As far as furlough recalls that may be a different story. Some airlines may be able to negotiate contract concessions from their unions during these tough times. Not only monetary...

    Legacy Airlines?

    This is what I would do.......... For me it would be a difficult decision. I am a captain at a large regional airline and have been furloughed once before in my career. I would need to know more about the company (finacial backers etc..) and maybe see them actually start up. My wife and I...

    UAL planning recalls

    The increase in flights and reduction in fares is in response to AMR which is increasing flights in ORD it is simply a competetive response to AMR.

    Legacy Airlines?

    Time will tell It is hard to say if it is a good idea at this point. One could argue with all the major airlines pulling out of alot of cities and repalcing their flying with RJS and props that an airline could come in and lure some of their passengers away. Who knows. Also my friend told...

    Legacy Airlines?

    Yeah, If you look closely I put a period at the end of www.flylegacy.com therefore it does not work. The link on this post should work.

    Legacy Airlines?

    Actually I am an ALPA member and remembered reading something about Legacy on their website. It said something to the affect that ALPA had investigated Legacy and found it to be legit. It also stated that a couple members of Legacy Management team were ex-MEC ALPA chairmen. Also my buddy told...

    Legacy Airlines?

    I just talked to a friend who is a Delta furloughee. He has recently been hired by Legacy Airlines. I guess Legacy is a start-up out of Syracuse, NY, and they will be flying 737-700/800s and are supposed to start flying this summer. My friend was telling me they have hired about 100...

    Furloughs

    From my experience (been furloughed once and almost a second time), is that when furloughs are being delayed and in this case by months it usually means the furloughs are coming to an end. Alot can happen in a few months and the company is probably covering their ass by saying another round of...

    UAL and IAM reach TA

    Rueter, I think to assume that UAL will NEVER hold the same status as it did 5-6 years ago is going way too far out on a limb. You need to look no further than past airline history. CAL was the dredge of the industry for most of 1980s and early 1990s and they recovered to be one the best...

    UAL recalling F/A's!!

    I also read an article today, I believe it was the Denver Post, that stated that UAL HAD planned to furlough 1200 pilots total but that the number will now be lower. I hope they cancel the 251 slated for March 2.

    UAL and IAM reach TA

    publisher, I agree with your assesment that Ual has lost market share due to their problems the past couple of years, but this is a recoverable situation if they make the right moves and settle all labor disputes. This should finally afford them years of stability, something they need badly...

    UAL and IAM reach TA

    I feel that I must comment on the previous two posts. Even though I do not work for UAL I do work for United express and I feel that I read enough about the industry and I worked in the industry during the last downturn 10 years ago. I really feel that the press is undeservedly making UAL look...
