UAL Returning Furloughees

[Andy]

Andy,

How do you join the halfwinger board? Does one need compuserve to get on the UAL ALPA webboards you refer to?

PM me your name & e-mail. I will forward to Jim D.
Halfwingers is a group on Yahoo; it's been fairly dormant for the last year except for Al S. posting job leads. I'd like to reinvigorate it to keep caustic posts from furloughees off of UAL ALPA. It's starting to show some signs of life.

Were junior and we are gonna get it just the way it is. Be happy to come back. I'm not there yet but 4/10/00 is getin close. By the way recalls will be accelerating through the year. I know many I've talked to won't be going back as a lot got jobs at SWA, UPS and FDX. Best of luck to them I will however. And then again some are flying desks and making more money and are home...funny how it all works.

Can some one explain the returning furloughee share of the money give out by the company the way I read the email was you needed a class date before the company came out of bankrupcty. I am just confused since my date of hire is 9/03/00 will I get any money or stock thanks in advance.

Read my previous post, posted earlier tonight:

727scammer, there are two payouts to pilots, the stock and the bond. The stock will be distributed to every pilot on the seniority list, whether recalled or still on furlough. The bond will be only given to those who are on property, retired within the window (prorated), or have accepted a class date prior to emergence from BK.
Approximate worth of the stock is $5K face value; those that sold their claims got approx $16K. Approx worth of the bond is $47K.
This is a hot topic on the UAL ALPA boards. If you're a furloughee, there's also the halfwinger board; I've put several posts on the halfwinger board on this and other issues affecting furloughees. I highly encourage all past & present furloughees to join halfwingers.

How many UAL pilots still out on furlough?

They are getting close to halfway through the recall list. So far 498 have accepted recall out of 2172. 431 have bypassed and could still return any time openings are available. 100 more recalls are planned this year. When they get to the bottom of the list, they will start back up and anyone who has bypassed recall will get one last chance to return.

I was told that if you resigned, i.e. took a job at XYZ Air, and they offered you recall, that was your last chance. In other words, your resignation became "official" when you bypassed. Anyone hear differently?

If that's the case, call Bob Neal. I will post Bob's number on the Halfwingers board (incentive to get fellow furloughees to read it).

I just got moderator status there and sent you an e-mail inviting you. You should have an e-mail inviting you to halfwingers.

Anybody know how much they are getting for the Full Type-Ride at TK?

 

[boeing747-800]

1 million dollars

Which Type ride are you referring to?

 

[ual-psycho]

Which Type ride are you referring to?

I will answer my own question:
For a short period of time, they offered at "Pay to Upgrade" program. You could pay a little extra, and get the full type ride on the fleets where the F/O didn't automatically get typed.

The new deal is that we will get an SIC type ride. Upon return to TK for your PC/PT, hopefully by then they will hve the add-on approved to make it a PIC type rating. The SIC rating is now required for 2 pilots crews to fly outside the US- soon to be required inside the US.

The current concern is that it may generate an "Up or out" situation.
