Latest on UAL recalls

[plnegoofy]

so with the calls going to the Dec 2000 class...how many more until we reach the bottom of the first round?

 

[Huggyu2]

Based on the earlier posts, I'd guess around 325 to go.

8444 (3 Dec 00 hire date) is one of the latest to be called and 8655 is the bottom man on the seniority list. Letters went out for 2 classes in January.

The latest SKYNET ( 8 Nov) proposed vacancy listing has 99 Captain positions and 132 FO positions with training dates in Jan, Feb and Mar. The effective date is 1 May 2007. That would mean there really will be a need for 231 FO's to fill the list as present FO's slide up with Captain vacancies being filled too. All pointing in the right direction to have everyone on the list called once very quickly.

I think that up until December, United was hedging their bets on the retirement age changing and were merely recalling enough to make sure that next summer doesn't have a shortage of pilots. Now that the age won't change, I would expect 40+/mo for Jan-Jun classes or until they run out of recallees, whichever comes first. They'll probably run out of recallees in May or June.
Get ready for interviews next summer and newhire classes in the Aug/Sep timeframe.

I spoke with Cindy at ORDFO yesterday. She said they expect to start hiring in the first quarter of 2008. I didn't ask, but I suppose they are presuming many of the pilots on bypass will return. If they don't, hiring would start sooner.

7-d-1

I'm 110 from the bottom (3/12/01), and I decided this week to try and go for a 7-D-1 employment contract LOA (with my own company, which may complicate things). I want to go back, but I need to try and buy myself 12 months. Has anyone tried this or heard of it working? Coomans seemed to indicate that the employment contract "concurrences" are a rubber stamp if you have yet to be offered a recall. We'll see.

I believe that you are talking about an employment contract with your current carrier. If so, United will have to obtain a copy of your contract. And, it is only good for up to two years or the end date of said contract.'

A guy in my class at JB did this and was recalled prior to his two years at JB. He accepted the recall and went on a LOA until his two years were up. I'm pretty sure he accrued longevity during this time.

Good luck to you. Have you been called yet?

What about if you've already passed at recall (the first time)? Can you go on LOA based on the Jetblue 5 year contract? If so, do you go thru your flight office or Coomans?

 

[Huggyu2]

I believe you start with your flight office: LOA's are processed through the Chief Pilot, and they send their recommendation to WHQ. Call them and have them mail you the LOA paperwork. If I remember right, to get an LOA of 1 year or less can get approved at a lower level than a LOA of over 1 year.
