US Air Application Window

[JECKEL]

Did the US Air application window open today and then close?
Had several people tell me that the window opened this morning but as of 2pm eastern it is not open .... anymore.

 

[Fly-By-Cable]

Yes it was open. I bet they got a thousand resumes in a half hour.

At the last job fair a few weeks ago I was told those who attended the fair would receive an email when the window opened. I received no email

This sounds like good news. I thought they were getting ready to furlough 200. Was that bad info?

 

[xjhawk]

yup, shortage of pilots is really going to happen. A window opens up for a few hours and they get a thousand applicants all for 16 jobs. Something tells me the same thing will happen everywhere. hundreds of Comair pilots on the street, Pinnacle will be the next one to get 50 seaters cut which will force hundreds on the street. Let me guess, people will still be talking about a pilot shortage when people cant get a job at a place worth working

I think that was a 4 y/o thread that someone brought back.

 

[dollacrackho]

Its open now

 

[i fly boxes]

Is USAIR that airline that no one wanted to go too that in 10 years will be awesome? It seems unlikely now but you never know.

 

[The Drizzle]

Seems to be open again.

You may have seen a thread here from 2009 that got resurrected!

 

[kj6991]

If you already submitted the app and you want to go back and change some things, can you withdrawal your app and then start all over?

 

[bocaflyer]

Still open.

I don't understand why these major airlines, that need all these people, cannot get their job offers to make sense.

For example, I have about 5000 ME jet, but I don't qualify for USAir...because they want "Minimum Qualifications
- 1500 hours of combined turboprop and turbojet flight time"
I have 0 turboprop hours, so I am not qualified, according to the person(s) that wrote this ad... it says I need both jet AND turboprop flight time.

USAir, please hire a Technical Writer...

Cuz TP time is more important than jet time

 

[JECKEL]

"1500 hours of combined turboprop and turbojet flight time"

Agreed. Very poorly written.

I believe the turboprop addition/combo is for the Piedmont guys.

They have hired quite a few Piedmont pilots and they only have turboprop time. They have no turbojet time.

There is no combination requirement. They just accept both.

I think you're reading too much into it. It doesn't say you need both; it says the total of both types of time (different guys have different amounts of one OR both) must be a certain minimum. Even the way it's writen, you clearly satisfy that requirement:

In your case,... 5000 + 0 = 5000 combined turboprop and turbojet time, which is still way more than the minimum "1500 combined turboprop and turbojet flight time."

I don't think it's unclear at all, but if you don't want to apply there because you don't like their writing style, then knock yourself out. I'm sure that will teach them a lesson!

How are you not qualified?

5000 turbojet + 0 turboprop = >1500 combined turboprop and turbojet flight time

Ha! Beat you by one minute!

So I was pushing up against the 48 hour window to complete my app before they kick you out. I also could not get the supervisor, salary, etc input under the job section. Now when I pull up the online app, it shows as a pdf file. I can't find a way to edit it. Is it seriously impossible to edit the app without withdrawing and resubmitting the entire thing?

 

[kj6991]

Is it ok to withdrawal the app then re-submit it?

It makes perfect sense. Make sure to tell them at the interview what idiots you think they are.

 

[mike12345]

I was told on another forum if you withdraw you cannot resubmit.

 

[tbm700]

What if you begin answering the questions and you loose connectivity or just "close out"? Are you able to log back in and continue answering the questions from where you left off?

I don't know if you'll have to re-enter or not. But, I think as long as you don't hit the submit button, you can save and return. It's gone for good once you hit the Submit button.

 

[tbm700]

Ah, ok cool. That makes sense. On a trip, started a question or two on my IPAD, and then realized I should do this when I get home on my laptop. Thanks ERfly.

Please keep in mind, I'm on the outside looking in. That's just what I've heard, though.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. Years ago southwest, ups and FedEx were junk jobs that nobody wanted. Now look!

That is correct.

If you screw up you can close out the browser and start over again.

Is it ok to withdrawal the app then re-submit it?

No, from what I understand you will be locked out. If there are any issues with your app you can clarify it in the interview.

 

[TEXAN AVIATOR]

I appreciate the fact that they have their own application processing site. Airline apps sucks. Pay to apply is ridiculous.

 

[BaronFR8Dog]

Yes it was open. I bet they got a thousand resumes in a half hour.
