Latest on UAL recalls

Sean Donohue's last update lays it out...877 WE FLY EM

Good: trip and duty rigs back for the LCO. Line guarantee for everyone.
Bad: Drop floor goes from 50 to 65. No more half time pilots. PBS will build to a min of 75 instead of 65. Also some raising to monthly caps to help cover the summer flying. We have only 30 more pilot on the property now than last summer. Last summer we experienced an unacceptable level of crew cancellations. They're trying to fix that with having everyone fly more.

Regarding recalls, this was posted on SKYNET sometime in Feb:

We have offered voluntary recall to all 2172 pilots that were furloughed. 873 of those pilots elected to bypass their initial recall opportunity, and we are now contacting those pilots a second time (in reverse seniority order), offering a choice to either return or resign.
Not surprisingly, a substantial majority of the junior-most pilots, who are well into a different career or seniority list by now, are electing to resign. For example, “return or resign” letters have been sent to the 100 junior-most furloughees; of the 73 who have responded to-date, eight are returning, three are transitioning to military leave, and 62 are resigning.
On the flip side, a sizable number of senior pilots on the bypass list are calling off bypass to return this spring, and accordingly our first five recall classes of 2007 have been or are filled. Additionally, senior bypass pilots have already filled 13 positions in the sixth class of the year, to begin on April 9.
Looking forward, we are still on track to recall 300-400 pilots this year. In the event the resignation rate stays high, Flight Ops and Human Resources are beginning to design an updated pilot new-hire program.​

Say no to the give backs finally we have some leverage. They must hire more pilots.

Did a new award just come out? Wondering if it was possible for someone to check if I was awarded a base? I'm on leave and Skynet Lite doesn't give the info. Tks....

Did a new award just come out? ... was awarded a base?

Yes, and... check your email ;-)

It took a week for another post after TacoTurbine's! That's a record on this thread, me thinks.
Any updates on how far they've gone on burning through the bypass list?

I just heard about a guy in the last class that elected to resign after the first week. Anyone?

Hopefully he/she was senior enough to make it matter.

There's going to be a recall class May 7th. Don't know of any other new ones...
