NWA Inrcreases Recalls

[NuGuy]

FWIW,

NWA has increased the number of pilots they are recalling this fall. Looks like an increase of 30-50 over the number originally planned. Mileage may vary due to military and other deferrments. All categories are running at max cap, tightly staffed, with lots of open time. Reserves are capping out every month.

In other news, NWA also announced the re-opening of the SEA crew base, this time with 330s and there has been some press about NWA considering the 7E7 with KLM.

Great news!! Good to hear.

Thats great news! How many will that leave on furlough at years end?

Congrats Red Tails!

So, we've got NWA, UAL, and DAL starting recalls.

Let's hope AMR starts recalling soon. Unfortunately, I think that they've got some furloughs coming up in Oct.

It'll be nice when every airline turns around and doesn't have furloughees on the street.

Don't forget CAL, even though they've been slowly recalling for a while.

I was hoping we'd open a base in PDX.

How's the recall at CAL working with the retirement of the Md-80's?

back from the sim!

Cal

The most recent bid at CAL (closed on the 13th of September) allowed 326 furloughed pilots to return. The last pilot holding a position is senority number 4389. There are 4498 total on the senority list leaving 108 pilots still on furlough.

Rumor has it the training will continue at approx. 30 - 35 recalls per month until all pilots (plus the 112 XJet pilots that were offered a job at CAL) are back flying for Continental.

Sorry for the thread drift...I think its great NW is recalling.

Glad to hear recalls are finally coming!

 

[NuGuy]

Hey guys,

Official word was 50 additional recalls, so the approximate total on furlough as of Jan 1st, 2005 should be around 665 or so. Mileage may vary due to recall deferments, long term sick, military leave and so on.

AA expansion at DFW is simply the reallocation of assets from ORD, due to the FAA mandated cuts at ORD to ease delays there. Recalls at AA do not seem to be in the near term, although I hope that changes!
