NWA hiring

[IHateMgmt]

I'm in -9 upgrade class right now, and we've got one Mesaba newhire guy, a Mesa guy, AF C17 guy, and a furlough returnee...FWIW.

Did the Mesaba guy in your class get hired before 9/11, but had his class canceled?

I'm just wondering if anyone besides that handful of guys are getting the call.

I bet the Mesaba guy was hired back in summer of 2001!!!! No Mesaba guy has been called for the first time by NWA recently.

So what's the whole process?

Can anyone who's gone through the NWA hiring process recently shed some light on the whole application/interview/hiring process?

1. Mini app online.
2. Invitation for full application online.

Then what? Phone call? Another email? Is the medical and interview done on the same day? Any psych profiles or written tests?

And how long did it take to progress through each step--like, application to interview to indoc?

Thanks for any info.

Don't know...we started flying the sim and now have different schedules. Could be though.

How many from new app pool?

Just curious how many have been offered/hired from the new app pool as opposed to those who were in the pool pre-9/11 who were offered postions.

I have an inside rec and exceed the min quals by a lot, and my "sponsor" was told everyone with a rec and meeting the mins was guaranteed an interview.

I did the phase 2 online invite-only app process months ago and have not heard a word since.

Thanks

I apped about 2-3 months ago and nothing. I'm underqualified though with no internal recs. 3,500 TT 900 turbine PIC no 121 PIC (I'm a corporate guy) I need a rec but I know nobody there, so I doubt I'll get a call anytime soon.

Not true. I don't have no rec. but still get a call, has over 1000 jet pic though, maybe that helped. I sense they're looking for low-time regional guys in a way that most other major airlines won't even consider them. So maybe that's your chance.

I didn't have an internal rec either. 3700 TT 500 TPIC

Took about a month to call after app was submitted. Good Luck...

Has anyone used a printed version of an electronic logbook for the NWA interview? If so, what were the results?

Pretty much same as me. Good luck guys!!

 

[Bigoober]

Just got the call to interview. No internal rec. Military, 4000TT, 2500 PIC. Submitted full app about two months ago.

I sure hope NWA has not gone down the road United has and Continental has gone down.........hiring low time.......hope they are fair I guess

Last few classes at UAL have averaged about 7800TT and 3000 121 PIC...is that low time?

Info only: If they call you for a sim ride make sure you can still do a basic hold, a non precision approach and an ILS with an engine in op.

Isn't that what a pilot is supposed to know how to do???

I used my printed Logbook Pro report and inserted a jpeg file for the signature and had no questions asked and got the job. Logbook Pro has been the best money I have ever spent when it comes to filling out apps. Good luck they are great!!
