UAL Bases by seniority

[DontFeedTheBear]

Yogi,

First it is FURLOUGHS....not furloghes

Many of us in the top % of layoffs over here at UAL were directly linked to the parking of our 737-300 and 500's to help make the Merger happen.

Thank you for the spelling lesson, you will surely be a pleasure to fly with!

What is the chance (% wise) of a UAL bubba taking the CAL deal and getting IAH based? I live here in IAH now, be nice not to commute.

P.S. I have 11 years with UAL and on the top of the furloughed/hostage list

To actually (partially) answer your question:

On the latest System Bid, a good number of recalls (around 60) have been awarded IAH 737. The most junior recalls have been "awarded" GUM 737 .

Where United furloughees would go is anybody's guess.

Good Luck!

Does that need to be taken into account for the SLI? If so, how?

Don't know.....when the "Merger" was first announced I was a B767 F/O. This was in 2008.

Weird, never heard that. But I did hear it announced in the spring of 2010. I guess your news source is better than mine.

Oh, wait - are you talking about when Continental said "no thanks" to UAL in 2008? Ok, now I gotcha...

Wow! my buddies at UAL don't know a thing about this! They said that they had been furloughed in 2008. The merger announcement date is in May 2010, not 2008. But now I see how you would be fun to fly with, it's about delusions of grandeur or raw comedy...

Don't be a jerk. I'm happy you have enjoyed your time at CO. Be gratefull you have had it and act that way. The top of the furlough list (I don't give a crap how you spell it, most of us were not english majors) are victims of a two headed sword. Bankruptcy, and the contract it came with, gave the company the ability to get a contract which allowed the rediculous amount of RJ's we have which directly lead to the 737 parking to right size the airline. The F/O's I fly with, most with 12 years longevity, are also victims of this management. I would suggest enjoying your time at CO while it lasts. NONE of us know how it will turn out.

We'll see you on the line where we will have to make the best of .........whatever we have.

Let's all take a deep breath here guys. It's easy to let something like this divide us into a US Airways downward spiral.

As a CAL pilot (recently recalled), I for one am actually looking forward to the new United and flying with the United pilots since it's very apparent this thing is going to move forward.

I sincerely hope that we can avoid the disunity that resulted from the AW and USAir debacle and can achieve a great contract with work rules that protect us from the FAA's new NPRM and the like.

Congrats on your recall. I too am looking forward to working as a combined company. We do have some good potential here. I agree with your comments however there are some, on both sides, that need to be reminded that both pilot groups are in the position they are in due to dumb luck. Most of the CO pilots would have taken the UAL job in the 90's and most of the UAL pilots, assuming they were not already hired at UAL, would have taken the job at CO in the 2000's.

Hard to take a deep breath when you have UAL folks attack a spelling mistake when it was spelled correctly two other times in the same post, posting incorrect data on a date of announcement, calling themselves hostages when they don't even acknowledge the true meaning of the word, calling us jerks instead of their own who starts this crap, and lastly acting as if UAL is the 'almighty carrier' by telling us to enjoy our time left at CAL. I have said it before, and I will say it again, let's get the best JCBA in the industry, it will make the process a lot less painful for all...

1. As I said I don't give a crap how you spell anything. I am the first to admit my speling sucks!!

2. Please do not assume a couple of guys who CLAIM to be United pilots on an anonymous website speak for the United pilot group, surely you are smarter than that.

3. Don't assume any pilot knows the "true meaning" of any word. Again we are not English majors. Half the folks on here use the word scab incorrectly.

4. After years of Tilton how could we think UAL is the "almighty carrier." Cmon. I said enjoy your time left at CO because it is coming to an end just like mine at UAL as I know it today is. I accept the reality that is coming our way. Like it or not we will be tied together, time to make the best of it.

See you on the line.
