[nightrider]

What year and month have they furloughed back to at united?

Thanks

I think it is back to around spring of 1999...plus or minus a month.

9426 (lowest pilot on 2003 seniority list) - 2172 (pilots furloughed) = 7254 (most junior pilot's seniority number)
Hired 9/21/98.
#7255 was hired 9/28/98

They don't intentionally furlough by class date; this must've just been an anomoly. 7239-7254 were hired 9/21/98; 7255-7270 were hired 9/28/98.

This may not be the proper thread but, if you think furloughed 1998 hire pilots have had to sacrifice, imagine having been hired (10) years earlier in 1988 and then suddenly finding yourself in the unemployment lines. In less than a years time, former TWA Captains with three years in the left seat were downgraded to F/O then eliminated altogether while Arrogant Airlines replaced them with their own 2nd and 3rd year F/O's. I could go on and on with the injustices by AMR and the APA pilots but sadly, no other pilot group really cares until it happens to them.

A fair and concerned national pilot union with any backbone at all(not ALPA) could have prevented such unfair treatment of its members. National Seniority list anybody? Stand up and sound off before it's too late and it happens to you!

Yeah, but at least you have... er, had a job. No, wait, at least you have a healthy company to come back to. No, that's not it... You should be happy you ever got to work for AA. Yeah! That's the ticket!

Counting the days 'til I hit the street.TC

if you think furloughed 1998 hire pilots

So tell me where you would be if AA hadn't bought TWA?

Disgusted Give it a rest !!!! It is getting old...
Arrogant Airlines don't need anymore digusted, pissed off people or whinos, they have enough as is.
This thread is about UA furloughed pilots.

I dunno and neither do you. There's a big difference between fact and speculation.

My speculation is that TWA would be reinvented as a low cost carrier possibly just getting by like they always had. All that is of course is speculation. I think that had AA not bought TWA the bottom 15-20% at AA would have been furloughed and the 35-50 percentile would all be F/Os a long time ago. I think that is not so much a speculation.

Supreme,
I think that the UAL question was answered therefore it is ok to hijack the thread
