United Airlines recalling all furloughed pilots
United Airlines announced Thursday morning that it will recall the "nearly 600 pilots" currently on furlough. The company says it's making the move "to address the airline's future staffing needs," adding that "no United pilots will remain on furlough following the recall."

Good for the pilots.
Good for all the flight crews. 600 pilots, assuming they get them all back, will generate a lot of flights unless they are looking for a mass of retirements. More pilots > more FA's and more pax.
They won't get them all back and they are expecting a lot of retirements. United has no plans to significantly expand over the next few years. This is just to keep up with attrition.
Pretty much what I figured too. That's why I mentioned it.
Have to laugh at this....some of them are now Fleet Captains in places far away. Good Luck to them. That's where I would be headed if I was a younger guy.
It would be very interesting how many pilots will return. Are they expected to stay ready at home until the airline "calls them back"????
