This new posting just came out. I tried multiple times to list the whole thing, but the format keeps getting messed up.

Also in the posting was the updated fleet plan:

Also in the posting, for those of you unfamiliar, the 48 727 S/O are all going to be new hires starting with 12 on Sep 7. They are going to look at needs quarter by quarter after that, but all 48 will be in the upcoming quarter. They also made mention of another posting in late 2004 or early 2005. Good luck to all trying to get here.

USAirways

Username: They will hire pilots furloughed from USAirways. The boss says there are still too many apps to choose from to hire folks furloughed from other carriers. Stranger things have happened, but for now it looks like that policy won't change any time soon.

"What this really means is the bean counters realized that we are getting way undermanned and the current rate of hiring has not been sufficient!

Goose17"

Goose always has good news!

Here's the skinny on the posting:

66 new captains

58 new first officers

48 new-hire second officers

Fleet plan changes by May 2005:

727: -1
Airbus: +8
DC-10: -6
MD-10: +10
MD-11: unchanged


As I am currently in DC-10 SO training, this obviously is big news....

Crew schedualing has called once a day for the last three days asking me to pick up a draft trip.

2 more Captains!

Huck: Actually, I think its 68 Captains and 68 FOs. Can't forget about the 2 Subic Cap's!

In any case, the bid is certainly great news. I hope the bids (and new hires) keep on coming.

Dixie: What seat are you in getting all the draft calls?
