2X's furloughed ual 10000+ hrs, 6000+ turbine, and I don't meet the quals AWAC is looking for, I guess over qualified.

Blue, you seem like a smart guy and the regional management dbags don't want people like you. AWAC, RAH, SKYW, XJT, PNCL etc all want the 19 year old kid to fly the new metal because they will see the job as a stepping stone and still think that they can make it to a major. If the new guys see it as a stepping stone its better for the management guys to ensure lower wages and pay cuts to "stay competitive". Do yourself a favor and get a job that pays real money. Keep in mind the wages in this article. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/salaries/

good luck!

Sorry to hear that bluefin. It's really sad if they're shorting your opportunities based on a UAL recall. What HR does these days blows my mind. IMHO they have stepped too far into the hiring of pilots. If I were the part of hiring at an airline I would consider your experience a blessing on any organization...even if it was for a short time. Unfortunately, the shortsightedness of the bean counters determines the fate of many. It's sad really, because they should at least give you an interview.

Well if you worked there you should be happy to know they're not hiring considering they have people on furlough!!!

Then why is the app window open and accepting for Jan. 2010 interviews? Anyway wouldn't go there, just applied to keep getting unemployment checks. Its more than the first year pay!!!!

Well, pal, I do work there. We just recalled 8, which leaves 14 still on furlough. Several of these have to accept the next round of recalls or they are SOL. This application window is most likely in preparation for the regs changes coming down from Washington next year.

Is it possible that nothing will come of it? Sure, since nothing is etched in stone in this god-forsaken industry. But the fact remains that we have been operating understaffed for going on 2 years (or more, depending on who you ask), and with the changes in flight and duty times coming from the feds, AWAC is simply getting ready for the inevitable.

To you guys who are getting the 'No Thanks' letters, I wish I new what to tell you. The logic (or lack of it) concerning hiring over the last 4-5 years here is inexplicable. You'd think they'd want the experience, but it seems our HR dept. is stuck in 2004, and will only consider those with ATP or ATP mins, at best. Keep trying, maybe pestering them might be the best solution. It can't hurt at this point.

And CX, since we all know YOU don't work here, maybe you should stop speculating on something you obviously know nothing about.

Tool.

Peace.

I know the job market is dry but look into the guard units they have some hiring to do still. If you are interested look at wantscheck.com or baseops.com. It will be a good shoe in for a young guy if you want to earn money and possibly bypass the regional world.

What happened with the marine CROPS??? Did they not accept you because you couldn't spell last year?

 

[Lynxman]

Quota was met until Jan. 2010 and I didn't have time to wait.
