Furlough Recall Notification

The company today announced that they intend to recall an additional 415 Flight Attendants from voluntary furlough per Section 21.A.4.c. of our Contract effective November 1, 2005. Higher than expected Flight Attendant attrition is a contributing factor in the decision to recall. Flight Attendants junior to and including those with System Seniority number 1114, with an SW classification seniority date of January 20, 1970, as listed on the System Seniority List dated August 26, 2005, are subject to recall from voluntary furlough. This is a permanent recall and represents a recall of all Flight Attendants from voluntary furlough.

The recall will be conducted in inverse seniority order. As required by Section 21.A.3.e. of the Contract, all Flight Attendants being recalled will return to the domiciles from which they were furloughed. United will send notification via FedEx or certified mail no later than August 31, 2005.

This recall is in addition to the 31 Flight Attendants with a scheduled return from voluntary furlough on October 31, 2005. We encourage all Flight Attendants on voluntary furlough to review the voluntary furlough information package available on our website at www.unitedafa.org and SkyNet.

The following is a breakdown of the number of Flight Attendants scheduled to return as well as those to be recalled at each domicile and includes the SW Classification Seniority of the most senior Flight Attendant to be recalled on November 1, 2005:
