UAL announces another recall class- 21 Aug

[acroflyr]

HyFly, what is your seniority number/hire date?

awaiting the call,

Guppy

Skynet Lite shows the updated recall info as of 7-31-2006 with the most junior person to recieve recall as Sen. #7983 and a DOH of 6-11-2000. I believe that's around 133 letters that went out for a the October recall class of 30. Looks like the end of the list is going to go fast. Won't be long!

Does anyone know if the October class is the last one this year?

hyflyt,
Contact Bob Neil. He can answer all those questions for you. Do a people search on SkyNet Lite for Robert Neil to get his number at WHQ, or PM me and I'll get it to you.

To reach the extra 125 number they announced a little over a month ago, they'd have to recall another 60 after October.

HOLY SHNIKES! I went from 200 to go to 20 to go in less than a week. (6-18-00 hire). They're burning through the list even quicker than I expected.

Looks like I'll be taking mil leave (plan on using all six years available under USERRA) and getting pass priveleges back sooner than I thought. :beer:

For those keeping score, the most junior number on UAL's seniority list is 8655. It'll be interesting to see how fast they burn through the seniority list the second time around.

As far as the 125 recalled number, that won't even keep up with retirements for the second half of the year. I estimate that UAL will need 600 pilots back on property before next summer starting with the August classes in order to avoid another manning shortage debacle.

I would expect United to fire up the new hire department and accept pilot applications sometime in 2007.

He's out of the office until the 6th. I thought I had read on one of the threads where he (Bob) told someone that you're frozen, no matter what, but that "someone" was told different info from a domicile flight manager (in regard to ML)?! Nonetheless, it's all good news!

Yea, I saw that on the other board after I posted to you. Post your question on the ALPA forum. You'll probably get an accurate response from somebody quicker over there, than on this board.

I'm curious to find out also.
There have been several threads on the UAL ALPA forum, with slightly different outcomes.
Problem is, for those of us that have to take a freeze, we haven't been senior enough to get a 767 on the vacancy bids. Perhaps we'll know in another month.
I'm tempted to hold out on mil leave until I can get a 767.

Got the letter today for the October 16 class. I'll be on military leave. Can someone tell me if I can have an equipment bid placed for me while I'm on ML? And, am I correct that I am not frozen in my seat until I start training, i.e. I won't be stuck in the 737/320 and will have the possibility to accept a 757/767 bid while on ML?

Hyflyt,

Your recall training date is the start of your freeze. I'm assuming you've been out of the cockpit for more than three years, so you'll incur the freeze. In your recall package, you get the opportunity to bid for equipment that comes down for your class and will get awarded based on seniority. You can switch domiciles, but will have to wait for your freeze to end to bid new equipment.

Is that date the one you report to HDQ for brain re-washing, or the date you begin at TK?

Also, as you remember your date for longevity was not your hire date but rather the month in which you finished initial training. In my case I was hired in November and finished on the 300 in February. I have three months of first year pay to go (I'm gonna need that half wing). Does that three months begin on my recall date or the date that I finish training (again)??

How do the recalls work? Obviously they start in seniority order and go down the list...and a percentage of numbers are bypassing. What happens when they get to the end of the list? Do they start at the top again?

 

[Tanner]

No...at the bottom and work up.

Wow!!!!

Of course. Basically they will call me, I will bypass, and they will call me again in 20 minutes.

I'm not sure on the first question.

The three months begin on your recall date.
