Of course - the class is a month away and things change.

L4, Thanks for the info..... Prior to the March 25 class there were 182 in the pool. New pool number should be 176.

Other numbers that I collected that left the pool but have not notified UAL:
2 SW (early Oct interview)
3 USAir (Oct/Nov interviews)

Of course at 6 new hires a month it will still take 7-8 more months to drain the pool to 0, and that is IF at least 6 go per week.

Makes sense. There have been 8-12 73 FO trips a day in open time all week. Doesn't look like it's gonna get any better any time soon.

Yet I and my crashpad roommates on reserve can't seem to APU a trip to save our lives. Get in on time at 11:00:01 and it gives you an error, call crew skeds then it's either gone or there is some other reason they can't use you.

But I figure I know I'm gonna work I'll pick up something I want. There were 2 periods this month where I sat the entire time. Why the huge rash of trips this week?

I have multiple pad mates and they were all working day 1 like me.

Which is weird because aren't there a bunch of vacant FO spots on the Bus?

Are they converting you to short call every day? I know guys who will sometimes commute in for the first few days then sit at home for the rest if not converted.
