United hiring next year?

[Mustache Rider]

Hi all, I have some friends/coworkers at the bottom of the recall list at United and are expecting perhaps a recall early next year. Any truth to this? And if so, I would like to get in my stuff if they do go to the street when the list is done. Any word on how soon United might go to the street to hire?

I still have my scantron form. Are they still going to use them?

"RECALL UPDATE
The September 25th class consisted of 37 active pilots (2 coming off leaves); there were 59 pilots that elected to take leaves (mostly Military Leave) for a total of 94 pilots recalled. There are 30 pilots in the October 16th class, 20 pilots in the November 6th class and a recently announced class of 20 pilots on December 4th. This will bring the yearly total to 395. The company also recently announced plans for a need of at least 300 additional pilots in 2007. The SSC feels that with 250 retirements planned for 2007, many more than 300 pilots will be needed to solve the myriad manpower issues. The company also mentioned that with only 368 pilots on furlough who have not been offered recall and the probability that a low number of pilots will accept recall when the company goes back up the list, they are considering the possibility of new hires as early as next fall."

Has the company mentioned anything about the pilots that were in the hiring pool? It would be nice if UAL would honor those that still wanted to go to United. Just a thought.
