Default Another United Recall Class

On the UAL ALPA board, seniority #7871, 2/21/00 hire, was offered recall to the 5 June class. Half airbus, half guppy, multiple domiciles. He stated that he will bypass for now.

Thanks for the update, Andy!

I was hired a month after 7871 and will likely bypass.

Keep the updates coming.

I'll be in upgrade class then for the JungleBus.

Anyone getting the 757 in JFK yet?

No, the junior 757 slot in the last vacancy bid went to seniority #7324; to DCA. There were no JFK 757 slots, nor were there any unfilled vacancies on the 757.

WOW, I was hired 8/12/1996 and my seniority number was 8333. My number "WAS" around 5300 when I resigned this past July (767 JFK F/O). The night flying here at FedEx can suck when you have to do it, but the place is great compared to the disfunctional attitude rampant at UAL. How could a pilot group vote 70%+ to get rid of the A fund is beyond me. That vote saved UAL $140M per year when it was losing 400M+ per quarter. I hope you guys get the pay and work rules back but it would have never happened in my lifetime. ALPA's mis information and lies during the last vote was a shocker, especially by the DEN LEC Chairman.

Glad to have a steady job for now (albeit pouring coffee)

Good luck to you at FedEx, Coffee ***** (nice screen name ).
It's a tough decision as to where to go, but I'm slogging away in the AF Reserves, getting close to a military retirement. I'll keep that up until I can return to UAL with a bit of seniority ... I have no desire to return to the LCO.

Thank you - I wish there had been more like you. I'd be glad to buy the "Coffee *****" some java!

What was the most distressing thing was that the vote to terminate the pension was done without permitting the retiress to have any input.

What a horrible message was sent to management with that vote.

All is JMHO.

PS - I was JFK, also.
