United Recalls 600 Pilots.
So step one post ISL has begun.
United recalls 600 furloughed pilots
From staff report September 5, 2013 9:44AM
United Airlines announced Thursday it will recall nearly 600 pilots on furlough to meet staffing needs. The Chicago-based airlines said no United pilots will remain on furlough after the recall.
“We look forward to welcoming back our co-workers as we complete work to integrate all of our pilots into a single work group,” United’s senior vice president of flight operations Howard Attarian said in a statement. “We are pleased to have this group of talented aviators back on our team. They are among the most experienced and most accomplished in the industry.”
Training classes for the recalled pilots will begin in October and run through the end of the year. United has more than 12,000 pilots.

Well, if most guys are like me, we're not doing cartwheels. Hired 13+ years ago to what was my dream job, told by orientation staff we just "won the lottery". Then to see my job being done by 3 or 4 RJ pilots (who my union also represents) while simultaneously getting kicked in the nads by this SLI. Yeah, recalled, awesome.

As a 3/2000 hire (resigned in 2007) my relative seniority would have lost 2%.
After 13.5 years seniority goes from 90% to 92%.
Still....not as bad as I was expecting.
Good luck to all of you in the future.
