AWA interviewing again

[mrvmo]

You idiots have way to much time on your hands. Go read the FAR's or play with your E6B's. You sound like a couple of aviation geeks. Sorry to bring this thread to the top with impertinent info but I couldn't resist.

Letters of Rec.

AWA is hiring again...

A letter of rec from a current AWA pilot would be a good idea

]

Does anyone know if the LORs need to be from AWA pilots, or would a LOR from someone who works in Dispatch, or in a management position be as beneficial?

Thanks in advance.

Letters should be from AWA pilots that you have flown with. At AWA PILOTS HIRE PILOTS. Other LORs wouldn't hurt though.

LOR

What if one has a Letter of Rec. from a Freedom pilot??

[Airbusdriver]

That is either a joke, flamebait, or you are a total idiot! I hope it is not the latter.

 

[AZaviator]

Airbusdriver, I appreciate the info.

I'm quite sure Auto-throttle's response was purely a sarcastic one.

 

[Auto-throttle]

??

it was intended at getting a few laughs, but I guess you completely missed it...

 

[Airbusdriver]

There is NOTHING funny about Freedom Air!

 

[SkySpray]

Lighten up.

MRVMO,

What's up, dude? What's wrong with reading the FAR's? Or playing with my E6B (that's what I'm callling it now-a-days...)? Seriously, though, drop me an email (I lost your address).

America West just had an equipment bid which will free up some F/O slots. In addition the CEO just announced that he intends to grow the operation by 10% next year while only picking up 2 planes. That means higher crew utilization. I think he is relying on a new contract with the pilot group in the near future. Right now all our lines are between 77 and 82 hours. If you fly more, the excess credit goes into a sort of time bank so in the future if you fly less that the required 77, you still get full pay. The last TA and any future contract will get rid of this ridiculous system and we will go to the "get paid what you fly" system. This will allow the airlines to schedule us for, and allow us to fly up to, 99 hours. This may take care of some of the 10% growth but they also want to hire more pilots because a large number of us don't want to fly 99 hours. Ha ha! Right now they are holding new hire classes on an as needed basis. The captain upgrades are being paired with transitioning F/Os,. There is a 2 year seat lock on new F/Os. If you change equipment after that, you are locked until you upgrade. The last TA changed that to "locked for 4 years after you change equip. Reserve varies. I was expecting 2-3 years but with the new hiring it may be only a year. That's if you want to hold a line of mostly all-night flying. Many stay on reserve until they can hold days. I have flown 20+ hours on reserve and I have flown 70+ hours on reserve. It varies a lot! 10 days off on reserve. 3 blocks of 2 days off and 1 of 4 days off. You can ask to move them. If you are hired, you will be assigned a plane. The TA would have changed that to an equip. bid for new hires by seniority which is by age. The interview portion has changed a bit. It is longer (about 50 min vs. 25 min) and they are a bit more intense. A lot of people have been denied in these first weeks. I think there is a slight change of philosophy since they had some trouble with some of the new hires last year. Good luck all!
