More US Air recalls

[Swaayze]

Yes, we wouldn't want anyone to accept a position and still be able to give 2 weeks notice, so it won't officially close 'til the 23rd when that's no longer possible. They obviously knew about this class a while back, why is it so hard to allow enough time for us to give a proper notice?!

For what it's worth, just saw that B. Pollock took a 190 CA slot... Have fun...

Fot those of you old enough to remember the "I Love Lucy Show"

Lucy,you have some splaining to do ! or

Bill,you have some splaining to do and we have four days to do it in.

Do you mean a E170 J4J slot, or a 190 FO slot on the recall?

 

[sonny320]

I heard that Flight Ops send more letters out for future recalls. Does anyone know how many went out?

He meant, he took a Capt 190 position in the lastest bid. I think, he was flying as F/O on the Bus in BOS.....so he's bid back to a capt. seat.

 

[PHXFLYR]

A Captain seat at any price ....oh,well. Egos must be fed,too,I guess

[Crzipilot]

takes a lot of eggos to feed that ego......hehehe

Remember he helped save USAirways with LOA 93, and his crafty stewardship. As quoted in some article when his tenure at ALPA was done...

So maybe he should be jumped up to the #1 position on the merging of the seniority lists for saving US???? uke: uke: :smash:

 

[PHXFLYR]

Uhhh....no.

Ok, that makes more sense.

I saw on another forum that recalls are rumored to continue at about 25/mo 'til at least next fall, fwiw.

 

[BenderGonzales]

Now that's interesting. 25 a month huh? This is a huge dillema for those of us who have been on the street since 02'.

We have relatively little information to go on when making the decision regarding if and/or when to return.

If you have a stable job, is a return to US Airways nothing more than shiny-jet syndrome of another degree? This is going to be a tough one.

Don,t forget the age 65 ruling soon. That will change things.

If of course goes through.

It will stay at 60.

 

[Swaayze]

Yeah, 25/mo actually makes sense. The recent letter made it sound (IMO) as if they would begin to recall to cover attrition + they need to staff 1 E190 each month. Sounds like 25/mo would be actually a conservative figure especially if you include the West side. Not sure it's a huge dilemma, yet. Bypass is the name of the game because it is definitely a sister form of SJS I call BBAS (Bigger Bank Account Syndrome). Sounds great until you factor in risk and QOL!

Oh, and I believe age 65 is coming in the next year or two. That will quash all the current positive movement in the industry for a while:bawling:

Recall letters go to June 21,1989 class so far.

 

[ALGFLYR]

I talked to Charmane today and she told me she initially sent out 150 letters. She recently sent out an additional 100 letters (250 total) and has not completed the recall process as of this afternoon. By my guess, 250 letters would put the junior guy to get a letter around July, 1989. Sure does seem to be taking a while to fill this one. It's only gonna harder i suppose...

Thanks for the updates!

With all the years that have gone by since we furloughed my best friend who is just about ready to upgrade to Capt. at another Major airline I sometimes wonder if I should have left along time ago.

Things just dont look that good in the left seat now for a guy trying to make a living in this mess of combined companies. Just my view... Good Luck to all....I really hope they change the policies on where my good friends would be recalled if they were going to be at all.

Not sure what you're trying to say? What policy are you talking about?
