NWA interview!

[FBN0223]

I hate to remind you or break the enthusiasm, but I really believe NWA will be furloughing within the next 6-12 months. This is whether they merge or not. This is not a healthy company. It has not been for many years. Both my parents, my brother, and my wife used to work for NWA so I am not speaking without unfamiliarity. I was also a cleaner and a rampee there before I spent 8 years at Mesaba.

If you have any other choice of places to go, I would go there. If you are looking to go to NWA just because it is NWA, I would look a bit closer and not waste your time. There are much healthier companies out there.

Where do you suggest they go...United, Mesaba or Skybus?

Just a quick question, I filled out my on-line app today and was wondering what time time line MIGHT be before getting an invite for an interview (if chosen). Thanks

I applied the week before Thanksgiving, the email 1 week later, the call 2 weeks and interviewed a month after that. It was exactly 2 months from resume submittal to job offer.

Never mind. If I have to explain he wouldn't understand.

deleted... P.S. Where is SWA F/O?

Wouldn't hire you eh.

I would be very cautious as well. With consolidation, they are going to be shedding alot of airplanes...which means pilots. Put your head in the sand if you want.

Hi!

Someone asked me about NWA-said U wouldn't want to go there and get furloughed right away.

WRONG! I would love to go to NWA (or somewhere like it) and get furloughed right away. Why? That means I have a seniority number at a good company. Right now I have NO seniority number, and, thus, no chance of working there or being recalled there.

If I was furloughed, I'd go back to USA Jet and hang out 'til recall. For my career, I'd like to be at the best place I can get to.

AirTran is up next.

Good luck to you!

NWA also has flowback to Compass and Mesaba

 

[NoJoy]

So if one were to get hired at NWA this year and get furloughed the next, my understanding is that those pilots have the option of flying for Compass. Would they be CAs?
