UA To Expand Operations

[sniper]

The only problem with that is CAL is receiving 25 new airplanes next year (4 this year). United is receiving ZERO new planes.[/QUO


Oh well, let them hire new hires and the UAL pilots on lay off can be new hires with CAL seniority.

When all is done UAL will call them on their side and they can decide.

Then merge relative seniority.

Now would that be fair to the CAL folks? They would have a natural relative seniority at their company and then lose that relative seniority to the other side! Now if they keep that relative seniority, the furloughs would get stapled anyway!

Unfortunately for the furloughees, the decrepited fossil running flight ops is going to do everything he can to not recall UAL guys to CAL list. As long as he as Contract '02, CAL staffing will remain ludicrously thin. Growth from deliveries will be frittered away by parking 762's and 735's. And I will bet my first born that Jefferey is looking to park UAL 757's next. Retirements remain a wild card. In the end we are all going to be disappointed with movement. Wish I could be more positive, but management aims to disappoint around here.

This is spot on to what I envision happening as well... They'll run super thin through the summer like they always do and JM 'til the sheep come home, and then when Sept. rolls around and they cut 4% of our block hours, we'll be right back on our laughable staffing target as we shed more 735/762's. Swizzlestick will start shedding UAL 757's next (i.e. no UAL recalls)... just watch.
