Rumor has it that the first class has all 8 Guam slots are in the first class and that it will take 400 to get the first class filled.
If this is true, then it will pretty much put the 189 voluntary furloughs in a 30+ day by pass cycle. This will also allow more junior guys to come back until the 30 days pass.
It's going to be an interesting and telling week.

Question is how deep they will need to go down the furlough list to fill the last slot 7 months from now.

IMHO, some of the later slots will actually go more senior since a certian percentage of pilots that intend to accept the offer --but currently employed-- will wait so they are not at the very, very, very bottom of their fleet/seat/base. There's a big QOL difference between a bottom lineholder and the 8-ball on RSV.

I am not certain about the 8 going to GUM in the first class. The bid had 8 vacancies in GUM, and the FAQ said they would tell you if you were accepting a class that had GUM vacancies. Did someone make an assumption? It sure seems like they need people in EWR more with something like 98 vacancies. With a class of 12 running every 2 weeks totaling around 200 pilots to be hired, this hiring should run thru April. When will United have to start hiring in preparation for retirements in December of next year, summer 2012? I would expect anyone hired at CO to go back to UA if there isn't a contract by then.

Good news is that after that no one should have to worry about Guam.

Be Ready...to accept or decline GUM.
