They never used to but I am sure anything is possible.

AWA doesn't have a training contract but they have in the past had a problem with people leaving for the big 4. I think that they now only look a people that they feel will stay. How do you tell???

I don't think AWA has to worry about anyone leaving for the big 4 at least for the next five to ten years as I do not see any hiring at those airlines. In fact, I have been hearing that it will be 5 to 10 years before the recalls will begin (I doubt it will be 10 years).
I wish I had gone to AWA instead of TWA three years ago (especially since I was living in PHX at the time) as at least I would now have a job instead of looking at 5 years plus as a furloughee from AA.

You would be suprised that many leave for Jet Blue and ATA. I think that it's really more of a thing of the past though.

Got called today to set up an appointment in order to fill out necessary paper work. Sounds like they plan on spooling up very shortly.

Applications?

What is the best way to apply? Website? Fax? Mail?

I called the job hotline number this morning and the recording says they are NOT accepting new resume's or applications at this time. (1-877-AWA-4JOB) Their website also says they are not accepting applications.

Those of you who are getting called for interviews, were you already in groundschool? Were you waiting for a class date?

Anyone have info on when they will accept new resume's or applications?

Yes everyone being called right now is from the pool in early 2000. I believe they will be calling others soon.
