Interview at Airways

[Lampshade]

These 3rd listers and west recalls need to file a grievance and see if DOH means DOH to the USAPA grievance committee.

 

[BrickTop]

Shocked you all still believe any airlines are going to be hiring soon..........

 

[Tweaker]

Class starts Monday, Debbie Downer.

Here's the latest interview gouge, from just two weeks ago:

Interviewer: You applied for the EMB-190 PHL - Pilot position online, correct?


Pilot: Yes.


Interviewer: You realize our first year pay?

Pilot: Yes.


Interviewer: You realize year two pay, year 3 pay?

Pilot: Yes.


Interviewer: You realize the full scale FO pay on EMB-190 and the A320/B737?


Pilot: Yes.


Interviewer: You are a RJ Captain at [xxx] regional airline?

Pilot: Yes.


Interviewer: You realize you'll be taking a pay cut so as long as you're a FO on the EMB 190 or the A320 or the B737?


Pilot: Yes.

Interviewer: You realize you will never make what you make now until you upgrade at US Airways?


Pilot: Yes.

Interviewer: Are you sure?


Pilot: Yes.

Interviewer: Have you seen a psychologist or psychiatrist?


Pilot: No.


Interviewer: Maybe you should, after all, only a lunatic would give up what he has now to start at a legacy with an integration process in shambles, no future contract in sight, and a permanent paycut until upgrade.


Pilot: Yes, I will schedule an appointment. Me and 2,000 other RJ Captain applicants.


Interviewer: You're hired.

100% true FLYER!
For a select few, it might be pay neutral/pay raise though. It would be a VERY hard decison being a CA unless their residence was in the PHL area or something like that. For the rest, it might just be getting a seniority number at a Legacy vs staying at a dying regional.

Holly crap! I'm not gonna spend a week breaking down my flight time into tiny pieces for their app just to work there. I'll stick to my corporate gig. What's the purpose?
RIDICULOUS!

 

[Tweaker]

At least you don't have to answer questions regarding any "community organizations" you volunteer with or answer questions about "politics" like I was told I would have to by the YoNited interviewer. A Mizz Thang I think her name was.

They announced teh first of 1400 furloughs within days of this, so I remain perplexed as to what that would have entailed.

 

[Tweaker]

Honestly, I am glad that there are so many pilots so happy with their present employment situation such that they don't have to consider US Airways. Nothing good can come of blind desperation.

Count your lucky stars.

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking!
I guess I was reminiscing back when I first started flying. My dream was to fly the 75 for USAir out of PIT. PIT's gone and so is USAir.
