They're down to at least the 4 June class.

You gonna do it??

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?

[Puppy]

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 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.

Puppy, how many senior to you on bypass? 450 or so?

 

[wings421]

Out of curiousity, does anyone have the date of birth of the youngest pilot on UALs list (active or furlough)?

Not sure how many bypassers senior to me....my seniority is 8015.

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

 

[wings421]

Thanks Andy.

 

[Huggyu2]

Best guess would be late 1976 birth date.

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.
