NWA interview!

[FmrFreightDog]

Word is that they are giving out a LOT of offers to people who are turning down the job.

Rumor I heard at the schoolhouse was that 7 people have declined an offer as of about a week ago. Considering they're filling classes for late February (or maybe even later), that doesn't seem all that high to me.

UAL and NWA interview the same week... UAL is my choice.
Isn't it everyone's advice to never turn down an interview? There IS a chance that we are not offered a job at our CHOICE airline. So it seems sensible to leave backups.
Advice? Thoughts?

Hi!

I would like to interview, but I'm suffering from the low hours/month problem. I am hoping they will let us update our online apps soon, so NWA will know I have at least 2 NWAers trying to help me-maybe I'll get another type rating soon also.

Note: It looks more and more like NWA will be merging with DAL, so that's one thing to take into consideration.

Would you recommend 747-200 sim time prior to the NWA interview. Thanks.

If your scan is still ok, then it's most definitely not necessary. They're looking for basic instrument flying skills, not 747 proficiency.

Thanks. My interview is on the 16th.

What kind of questions were you guys asked on the "phone screen?" They left a message, but I imagine I won't get ahold of them 'til after the weekend.

They will basically verify the information on your application. It is probably a good idea to have it in front of you when they call so that you can answer verbatim off you app. At the end of my phone screen I asked what the next step was in the process, and they offered interview dates.

Good luck, be honest!

Easy enough, Thanks.

I noticed that my status changed from "under review" to "submitted". Anyone know if that is a good thing?

 

[lookin4better]

mine changed to that also, I think its just a new use of words , i.e. replacing 'under review' with ' submitted' but it means the same thing.

...in other words, you have absolutely no idea.

Mine says under review and I was called for an interview

 

[SeaCow]

Anyone know if offered a class if they will allow you to delay a class date up to a certin amount of months, like Airtan does? Just curious for planning purposes since i do have an interview 21 Feb but am not leaving the left seat till I hit a 1000 pic.

 

[Occam's Razor]

It's administrative. In anticipation of opening an "Update" window, most will see their status change online. The function is for the HR wonks...not the applicants.

 

[CptMark]

Just a quick question, I filled out my on-line app today and was wondering what time time line MIGHT be before getting an invite for an interview (if chosen). Thanks

 

[viper548]

I applied in Aug when if first opened and was called 2 weeks ago

I hate to remind you or break the enthusiasm, but I really believe NWA will be furloughing within the next 6-12 months. This is whether they merge or not. This is not a healthy company. It has not been for many years. Both my parents, my brother, and my wife used to work for NWA so I am not speaking without unfamiliarity. I was also a cleaner and a rampee there before I spent 8 years at Mesaba.

If you have any other choice of places to go, I would go there. If you are looking to go to NWA just because it is NWA, I would look a bit closer and not waste your time. There are much healthier companies out there.
