You're a 190 F/O. I'm assuming you work for us but may not? I ask because most of these questions would be answered from the Furlough Committee updates. Here's a good portion of the latest update which should answer most or all of your questions.
1) This month an additional four pilots returned to the PHL E-190. A total of 108 pilots were recalled in 2010. At this time, all 224 furloughed pilots have been offered return to the E-190. The remaining 32 (of original 84) East furloughed pilots are scheduled to return on January 24 or sometime in the first part of 2011 to Group 2 airplanes unless they want to return to the E-190. (Note: All pilots can bypass recall to the E-190; many do, because of the pay.)
2) Pilots currently out on EVLA who are not under a third-party contract were sent letters by US Airways and had to reply by December 15th to inform the Company of their intention to return in 2011. Pilots are currently waiting for class dates from the Company in the beginning of 2011 (information supplied by EVLA pilots).
3) The recall of 20 West positions is still tentatively scheduled for later in the first quarter of 2011 and will most likely be split up into at least two classes, possibly in February and March.
4) We are pleased to announce that at this time US Airways has scheduled 12 new hire pilots to start Basic Indoc class on January 3rd for positions on the E-190 in PHL. Pending additional pilots taking recalls, we should have up to 51 new hires for the E-190 in the first half of 2011. The last report from the Company is that we can tentatively plan on a class each month until all 51 positions are filled or Resource Planning announces additional staffing needs. These 51 positions are from the 60 announced in the last update from Resource Planning (5 additional recalled pilots attended November 15th class and 4 pilots attended the December 13th class). All tentative classes should be completed in the first half of 2011.
5) Since last summer, US Airways has recalled or scheduled to recall/hire 179 pilots. This is in addition to those who have returned from EVLA and those who have returned/remain on Military leave (4 pilots).
As of today, US Airways will have returned 56 West pilots (40 recalled to PHX, 3 on Military leave and 13 to the PHL E-190) and 52 East pilots (51 recalled to the PHL E-190 and 1 on Military leave) for a total recall of 108 pilots, with 116 pilots remaining on furlough.
