Anyone heard from NWA?

[hdpilot1]

Just curious if anyone has heard from NWA yet or is everyone still "Under Review"? A friend told me that NWA already had some interviews scheduled. Also does anyone have any idea of what the interview will consist of? Thanks for any info and good luck.

Trying to find out myself....I have asked some current pilots, so I will post if I hear anything.

Under Revew?

I have only received the automated response saying I would hear from them within 30-40 days. Has anyone else heard anything more than this?

 

[ScubaGirl]

Haven't heard anything. But I do know someone who had a phone "interview" prescreening this week.

Same auto response as jet driver.

Check that.

There are no HR people at NWA making calls to any of the current applicant pool. The Crew Planning folks are talking to a few individuals such as former ATI's and furloughed guys...but that's all.

That info comes from the interim manager of Flt Ops HR at 0945 this morning.

Interim? You saying Troy is gone?

Nah. Troy's still there. He's the guy in charge of hiring the ATI's and other forlks within Flight Ops. He's not the pilot hiring guy, though.

Same thing happened in '94. Marlene B. (RIP) was the on-scene HR worker...but moved to Second Fiddle as soon as pilot hiring started. HR brought in Marie E. to be the boss of the program. Marlene then worked for Marie. Marlene did interviews...Marie made the policy decisions.

We don't have a "Marie" yet. Hence, no policy decisions have been made.

Thanks for the insider info Razor, keep us posted.

Read today first interview is Aug 21. Haven't heard anything on the process yet. Will be a simulator to assess flying skill and CRM. Initially, competitive canadates are those with 3500+ TT, 2000+ ME, 1000+ PIC, 121 experience, and a 4 year degree. Will post more when info is available.

Talked to Troy and Michelle this afternoon.

The ATI's going to line start early next month. Pat S. (Safety manager) will be the first. The rest will follow. The interviews set for this month will be the "internals" (I didn't find out who they were).

The full HR cadre will be in place by the end of this month. No decision yet on the PCI. The quals of the apps on file are as you summarized.

(I was extra extra smiley and polite. I think I'm in!)

I didn't know that Marlene had passed away... What a truly nice lady she was. Interviewing with her was like sitting down for a cup of tea with your dear old aunt. I hope NW HR can find someone decent to fill her shoes.

Thanks for the updates Occam.

Maybe my information was not correct. I just believed what a pilot told me. Silly me, I should know better than that.

I talked to a guy who used to be a ground school instructor over at NWA. He's working the ropes to get back at NWA as a pilot so he's been talking to friends over there. They say the first class will be in October.

What I heard from the MSP CP office is 26 new hires in Oct and after that 40 a month.

 

[Jet_Driver]

I beg your forgiveness, what is an "ATI" and "PCI?"

Was that total or just MSP?

I beg your forgiveness, what is an "ATI" and "PCI?"

ATI is an instructor that is not a line pilot. They teach "ground school," labs and part-task trainers. They work at bldg T (NAATCO) and are not on the pilot seniority list. I think PCI was supposed to be PIC. They hadn't put out word on the PIC (Pilot in Command) quals. Cheers.
