NWA poolies?

[ACL65PILOT]

I willing to staple every DCI carrier to the bottom of the list. Wholly owned or not!

 

[MJ42]

You willing to staple Mesaba too? What about Comair?

Didn't we have this discussion months ago. My answer is still the same as it was then...

I was a 2001 poolie (hired before Sep 11th, never made it to class), and when hiring started again I was sent a letter with instructions for how to apply for a job - and that's it. The landscape has changed so who knows what will really happen, but last time this happened there was no open job offer or preferential interview. Luckily I had already landed at a great job, so I didn't have to go through the process twice.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

That is what DAL did for me in 07. I was hired and never wen to class in 01. We had a preferential interview, but we had to go though the same process again.

While I agree with you, with on acception. Any airline brought on, the pilots would have to sign a legal document to not sue for seniority and accept a staple. 100% particaption or no deal. Otherwise we will have a bunch of rjdc'ers with nothing to lose swinging for the fence and hoping a judge will see their way.

Of course and if they did not, they would keep their seniority at their carrier, and as we would bid down, we would go in order, If they were senior they would stay that way, if not we would be senior to them.

any insight?

I'm pretty sure I can imagine the responses but I'm curious if any of the "poolies" have heard anything, or if anyone has heard anything... I'm pretty darn sure that come the end of April I'll drown in that pool (it expires)...

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Nope it will expire before we hire.

 

[1st Rate]

Unfortunately I think it will expire before ANY hiring. I wish it was different.

I heard Poolies will receive a letter by the end of the month which should answer questions about our fate.
Let's see....Best of luck to all of us!

 

[1031Guy]

I just received the official email from Steve-O at NWA. Thanks, but no thanks...pool dissolved...so close!

 

[WMUSIGPI]

Sorry to hear that .... hopefully they at least give you all first shot at re-interview.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Maybe. I am sure DAL will know who what in the pool.
If those pilots meets that DAL requirements and are competitive, I am sure that will get a call. Now go apply for CPS. That is a way in.

 

[1031Guy]

They'll know...

Which class were you going to be in? I was going to be in the May 5th class

 

[1031Guy]

I was one of the first to be placed directly into the pool with no specific class date.

 

[The General]

I got the same letter. was supposed to be may 5 class too.

 

[FmrFreightDog]

Sucks guys. It would have been nice if Mother D has respected the NWA HR people's decisions and kept the pool alive. However, I suspect if Mother D had had its way, it would have fired all the fNWA pilots and then made them re-interview for their jobs.

Hopefully, when they hire again, they will give some kind of preference to the guys and gals that were in the pool because, quite frankly, flushing the fNWA pool is a real slap in the face.

Best of luck.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Seriously,
DAL did it after 9-11 too. They do it all of the time. Look at the economy.

You might get an offer for an interview, maybe. DAL likes to hire differently then NWA did. (I'll leave it at that)

 

[TNPILOT]

Yawn...

I view the letter as a good thing. I think better of DAL than to not give us a chance. We'll get the opportunity to interview....whenever that may be!
