NWA Position Update

[NuGuy]

MEM is strictly DC-9 and A320.

ANC flies to 7 cities in the US (9 seasonally), and 8 cities (discounting CRAF) internationally.

Some New Hires will go to the A320 in Feb. Instructors have been asked to change our offline requests to cover the ramped-up training.

Not to mention ANOTHER request for DC-9 CA IPs. I think this is the 2nd or 3rd notice in 6 months, and one of those was extended by 60 days because they didn't get enough people.

Note that this MIGHT be because the FO IP program didn't work out as well as they'd hoped, or so I've heard. Don't know the details.

Have him contact "Troy" at Flight Ops HR. He can call Crew Planning (the number is in his FOM) and ask to be transfered to Troy. Troy will send him an e-mail with a link to your online app.

I saw Dom yesterday at the Mall of America eek. He said there is too much movement to keep the IP ranks on the DC-9 "stabilized". We're in the same boat, so there's a posting for A320 IP's too.

The demise of the FO IP program is good for us. More captain positions is a good thing.

Agree!

A whole bunch of first time bidders jumped onto the DC-9 CA pref up for March. I don't know if it's just the timing for "post holiday training", people wanting to be a$$hole captains for a change, instead of listening to one, or if they just heard that life isn't THAT terrible on the -9 after all.

Who knows, but like you said more captains = better.

I asked about this for a buddy of mine on Friday and the word is that right now they are only calling people with at least a Bachelor's Degree. He said that could change at some point, but for the foreseeable future the degree is required to be competitive.
