US Airways Pilot/FA Recall

[JetMonkey]

I don't believe the bypass rate is that high on the west.. At least not for now. We're talking about people coming back to 5th and 6th year pay. Your not gonna see too many pass that up in this economy.

Cp's office informed me that the bypass rate is running about 50% both sides. I hear what your saying about pay but there are quite a few that have found other employment over the past 2 years flying and non flying. WHy would someone come back on the first call if they have found stable and decent paying employment elsewhere???? Not saying they won't ever return but if you have been lucky to find a decent job, why not wait it out a bit and see how this all pans out?

For my classmates who are keeping count. I just got off the phone with Flt. Ops. They called to acknowledge my recall acceptance and she informed me that she is waiting for three more people to respond to the second letter. If one of the three declines recall then I am in the Sept. 6th class, so it is not official yet. I knew it would be very close for a class size of 20.

q about bypass

What's the situation like it too many people bypass? Will they call the people that they hired in '08 but never got a class date?

Congrats on your recall!

I am hoping I get the second class in Oct. I sit in the low 30's out of the 40 (east) to be recalled. I doubt I would be able to make the cut for the 9/6 class. Do you know how many bypassed first time 'round on the East so far? Also, how long is indoc? I assume we have to do a full 190 g/s too?

Thnx!

she said indoc is a week in CLT so i assume 5 days M-F. not sure how many have bypassed, maybe half so i wouldn't be suprised if it got down to you! i think with the length of time we were out it will be a full ground school. will be my 4th full ground school on this plane! uke:

So what does this mean? Is this the 40 recalls announced, or are these additional positions?

Recalls

These are the vacancies that the current 40 recalls announced will fill. I just wanted everybody to know there are no group 2 slots. Lots of current E190 F/Os are moving up to group 2.

 

[Mr Hat]

Congrats to the recalls. How long do you think til they are all recalled and they have to start hiring new hires? Just curious....

 

[psw757]

Just thinking out loud here but if you look at the original bid announcement there were quite a few more vacancies listed than they are filling on this bid. If you look at overall vacancies and subtract the reductions, even after the 40 e190 are subtracted from the vacancies, there are still like 50 unfilled positions. I'm think they will put out a bid for december since this was just a one month bid and I'm thinking the next bid should have group 2 on it. A few others have noticed this as well.

Had someone that knows a bit about this on flight the other day. Didn't go into it, but his comment, made me think they simply dumped all empty positions onto the 190 and left it there. So what PSW says about other empty positions in the near future makes sense. Sorta like, hiding positions for those that are senior who may come back in another month or so.

I.E. to avoid the backlash of how they handled previous recalls......when the company picked and choosed what positions were available for bid by class date, even though there were a number of vacancies on all equipment types.. This way there is no question, you come back as a 190 f/o, no matter. Future bid, when they figure out next months staffing will show some of those other vacancies. The other hidden meaning is, reserves on group II gonna be short for the rest of the year, with training float etc etc...

If the bid vacancy numbers are true then there are about 60 more vacancies in the coming months. Even if every east furlough came back, this would bring em all back and then some. Hopefully it works out this way.

Will the recalls be seat-locked on the E-190 for a year -even if we ALREADY did the one year on it prior to furlough? I assume there is a one year seat lock. Just curious...I am just happy to be going back! Sorry if this was addressed already.

Thanks!
