All have been offered recall to at least the 190. Not many west will go East to be junior to new hires and fly with Captains who should be, and will be, Junior to them.

TEMPE, Ariz., Nov 08, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

US Airways (NYSE:LCC) today announced that it will need 500 crew members
next year primarily in anticipation of planned retirements and
attrition, which will be filled by recalling employees currently on
furlough, as well as through hiring new crew members. The majority of
these returning and new pilots and flight attendants will be flying by
July.





"This is great news for our workforce and the communities we serve,"
said US Airways President, Scott Kirby. "We look forward to welcoming
our colleagues back to US Airways, and bringing new crew members onto
the team."




"Our crew member hiring needs are being driven primarily by planned
retirements and attrition, as well as international growth. Today's
announcement is consistent with our previously announced plan to keep
our domestic capacity flat in 2011 while growing international capacity
by 8 percent."




The 2011 crew member plan includes filling 420 flight attendant
positions and 80 pilot positions. The Company will first offer these
positions to employees currently on furlough status, and once this
process is complete will begin hiring new employees. After the recall,
US Airways will have no flight attendants on furlough, and may have up
to 100 pilots remaining on furlough. When the recall and new hire
process is complete, the airline will have approximately 4,970 active
pilots and 7,300 active flight attendants.

US Airways says Monday it plans to add 500 employees next year by recalling those who are currently on furlough and hiring new crew members.

"Our crew member hiring needs are being driven primarily by planned retirements and attrition, as well as international growth," says US Airways President Scott Kirby.

The majority of the returning and new crew members will be flying by July. The carrier plans to keep its domestic capacity flat in 2011 but expand international capacity by 8%.

Its staffing plans for 2011 include filling 420 flight attendant positions and employing 80 more pilots. The company will first offer the new positions to employees on furlough status. Once this process is complete, US Airways will have recalled all flight attendants, but it may still have up to 100 pilots still on furlough.

Once US Airways finishes filling all new positions, it will have about 4,970 active pilots and 7,300 flight attendants.

From Furlough Committee Update

Looks like November 15th class will have 20 instead of 15 and a class of up to 10 starting December 13th. The tentative East schedule is for approximately 10 recalls per month until all positions are filled.

Good news for those of you in the hiring pool. It looks like they are going to honor the pool.

Offers are going out to fill classes sometime in Jan.

So the Mesa guys will have some place to go until they are recalled to their higher-paying jobs on a CRJ900. Great!

 

[Tweaker]

I just heared that the last recall to the east from teh west was 1 guy from the bottom of the list of those furloughed.

That is to say there is about to become a need for new hires. I guess over 100 west pilots bypassed? Could be.

I don't think it made it all the way to the bottom. There are about 30 left.

 

[grog_sit_reserv]

I just received my second recall letter to the 190, I'm bypassing but I think it'll make it to the end of the list out West. I agree there'll be new hires in 2011.

Good luck if you come here.
