Legacy UAL to start recalls in JAN 2013, OCT letters going out

[thruthemurk]

I was hired in May of 2001. Was just finishing IOE when 9/11 happened. Three weeks later 844 of us were furloughed. It eventually went to about 2172 pilots furloughed. If i remember correctly the furloughs went to around 1996 hire date.
Then in 2007 recalls started. I turned it down because things were good where I was at. Turns out a few years later UAL furloughs again so even if I went back the first time I would have been furloughed again. Now in 2013 recalls will start again. So I'm thinking, if I had stayed at UAL , in the last 12 years I probably would have got about 2 years of flying in.
I wonder how many of the 844 are still on the UAL list.

Sorry for that chain of events. One clarifier, the 2172 furloughs went to the class of September 28, 1998; half of which was furloughed and half was not.
