From About US June 23, 2006:
Q. I have heard the furlough list for pilots may be exhausted
soon for the Embraer 190 positions. Is there a hiring pool for
people that have already interviewed on the West and will they fill
these positions? Will you hire off the street, or will new hires be
selected off of the CEL list?

A. We have not yet begun to fill positions for the E190. We expect
Captain positions will be filled by existing First Officers at US
Airways and we will recall pilots for the open E190 First Officer
positions. Even though the Transition Agreement allows pilots
to bypass recall for the E190, we expect to be able to fill these
positions initially from the furlough list that today has about 1,500
pilots on it. At some point in the future, recalls for the E190,
coupled with further age 60 attrition, will cause us to hire off the
street when the 1,500 pilot furlough list is exhausted.
