US Airways 14APR class

[Pos Rate]

Hi, I'm in the PHX 4-14th class-33 1/3.

 

[Sir Innocenti]

Did anybody have problems with updating their ratings, licenses, and hours on the USAirways I-Recruitment "Application Details" page? I cant get a straight answer or help from the IT desk at Airways to fix this.....Ive gotten a new type, an ATP and a buttload more hours than when I filled out the online app and cant update it. Anyone familiar with this problem?

I am only familiar enough to tell you that the program is all bollixed up. It is an improvement over the one they had last fall, too. Try to contact someone in HR/recruitment, if you can get a number/e-mail I guess.

Hey Tweaker,

How many PIedmont guys are in the class?

5, like last month. I hear PSA will begin attending in May. We have no special seniority, by the way. It is purely about how many rings are around your trunk.

So far I see 40, 36, 34, 33.5, 33, 32. My letter states that there will be opening on both sides.

Update

So far I see 40, 38, 36, 34, 33.5, 33.3, 33, 32 years old.

I was told 20 in class. A trainer told someone in the previous class there would be 15 East slots and 8 West.

Sorry = not to rain- but just wait until you meet a bunch of 45 year old's complaining about how they have 20+ years seniority that is being sold to the west. (ie: major airline pilots hired in their early-mid 20's)
They voted to sell your job to mesa while they got hired into their Fokker's at a young age... Just something to remember.

Congratulations to everyone making the jump to a legacy.

 

[Dr. Rumack]

Probably a bit late in the thread for this but...welcome aboard. I still really enjoy my job even after 3+ years sitting on reserve. I have had exactly zero negative experiences face to face with east guys and gals. I am not thrilled with their post-list antics and I voted ALPA within 4 minutes of receiving my ballot but I think we will all get along soon enough. Enjoy training.

Tweaker,

Hatred is far too strong a word and dislike is not fitting either. I think his only draw back is commenting on subjects that he knows nothing about. No matter how he chooses to address it his statement was vile and uncalled for. Then to add insult to injury in very typical fashion he attempted to justify the action. I grew tired quick and figured that it is what it is and moved on.

I'm sure we will all meet one day.

Cheers

Geez Wiskey Driver and I thought we buried the hatchet already with a few pm's I was all set to buy the first pitcher....... remember I already offered an apology for things that got out of context and i thought you had accepted?

 

[Captzaahlie]

Lovely, can't wait to meet up with this guy !!!

On another note, I have got to call your brother today, he called me over a week ago and my MEC duties got in the way. If you talk to him tell him I'll call today.

4/14 class

Just wondering of the known that are in this class, does anyone want to be based west? Also, the latest vacancy bid for the east side for june or july bidding shows 22 new pilots starting on 4/14. If that is the case the whole class may go east. not sure though.

 

[Tweaker]

I don't think of any of the 5 PDT dudes want West. I don't know anything about the rest of the class. See you Mon.

There are actually 2 classes starting Monday.

There is a recall class in CLT of 47 returning J4J pilots and some returning from LOA for a total class size of about 55 pilots. All these pilots will be based on the East.

There will also be a new-hire class of "off-the-street" pilots whose indoc. class I believe will be in PHX. I have no idea wether these pilots will be based East or West...

I heard the PHX director of training tell our indoc class that some (not a large number) West positions would be offered to the new guys, I think it was giving returning J4J guys first choice on bases (including West) but don't hold me to it.

Good luck, hopefully most will be able to get what they want too.

There's 2 36's, myself and one other. Probably a bunch of 45 yr old's that don't post here as well.

 

[Tweaker]

The 36 yo I counted was someone saying "some girl" is in this class who is 36. If that ain't your friend, then it is like this...

40, 38, 36 x 3, 34, 33.5, 33.3, 33.2, 33, 32 years old.

Since I want East, I am glad to continue to hear that most of the slots will be East.

I would be surprised to see many new hires that are 45 years old. This based on who I saw during my interview in PHX, the total time of those here who admit to getting hired and what I have heard.
Of course, like you say, these "more distinguished gentlemens" may not be utilizing the "internets", so we just don't know about them.
