USA 3000 Furlough

[MCDU]

A bunch of former furloughed America West pilots were there in the beginning of 2002. They left after a few months. They got hired, trained and typed and then left. Thats when U3K started to ask for resignation letters and training contracts. I believe they no longer require resig. letters and training contracts. Former Union President at USA3000 was a furloughed USAIR pilot who did a lot of good work for the Union at U3k. He is now back at USAIR and is in good standing with the Union. He is a true Union pilot.

True. A very sharp, knowledgable guy. Hated to see him leave. Mgt. on the other hand was glad to see him go. He was smarter than they were!

I heard the only United pilot they will consider re-hiring is the Fantasian. Inside joke, obviously.

I knew about everyone accepting recall, but where did you hear about a new-hire class? Have not seen any announcement. Then again, have not seen any announcement of re-starting service to PIE in December, other than from the media.

I got a call from a good friend that i helped with getting the interview saying he had a class date nov 11th. Glad to hear about PIE(is that confiremed?). The loads there were still in the 90% the last week we did them, and when I asked the pax they said they would gladly pay more to fly on us. So i never understood why we stopped, but then again i never have the big picture.

Take care.
Joe.
