UAL Returning Furloughees

[Huggyu2]

Update: I got my certified letter today notifying me of my recall, effective 3 April.
Thanks, Andy, for the gouge. With 4 year pay at about $76, maybe I'll look for other employment with my TS/SCI-SBI.

Welcome Back Guys!

Andy,

You are the man! You gave great advice back in the hiring days that was way beneficial to all of us. Now you're continuing your dedication once again. You've got my vote for MEC Chair one day when we're all back on the line!!

C5Guy,
Thanks. Glad that my posts are of some help.
We're fortunate in that we've got a great MEC chair right now. Not perfect for everyone, but the current MEC does the best job of walking the tightrope that I've seen to date at UAL.

Anyone have more info on this?

Captain Frank Cheeseman, Chairman of the MEC Training Committee, reported on the activities of his committee during the past several months. Topics included the PIC-Type rating program for First Officers on the 737 and A320. Turn-on of this program is planned for mid-2006. In addition, a review of United's command courses is underway to include "Flying The Line" and "Command Seminar."


Does this mean that they will begin giving Type rides to FO's? Will this be an optional thing that the pilot decides on or will this be required? Anyone heard of this, or have any more info? Sounds like a great idea!

Anyone know firsthand if people have been getting calls from classes after 01/10/00? I was only 30 some numbers away and thought for sure I would have had a call by now--Hopefully there will be a second class in April.

I just wanted to say congratulations to everyone at united that are getting recalled. I dont work for united but my parents were both cabin cleaners and i have close to 10 family members who worked or are presently working there. My family members did not have the most glamourous job but it did provide a scholarship for myself through united and for that i am grateful. Once again, best of luck to all of you.

Anyone hear any information on stock distribution? I heard a rumor that anyone with a class date assigned before the company comes out of bankruptcy will be distributed new stock in the company.
I wonder if they are going to stall recalls for this reason.....??????

Your info is wrong. Don't get the bond and the stock confused. The answers you need should be on the UA ALPA board for you.

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.

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.

Read my previous post, posted earlier tonight:
