I am at XJ and got the phone screening. She only verified what was on the application and nothing more. No interview type questions at all. At the end of the call, no invite for interview. I can't see how the phone screening could've made me unfit as everything on the app was verified to be correct. Oh well, I guess it is true that no XJ guys are getting invited to the interview.

XJ,

Sorry to hear that. I wish there's something Wychor can do about this situation.

I think the reason NWA says they don't want to hire us stepchilds because they don't want to deteriorate our staffing is bogus. I thought all the regionals want a young workgroup, and that means FO should be 18 years old, 250 hours ttl, and the CA should be a 3rd year captain on hi-min. So who cares if they at least give us preferential interview opportunities, right?

I believe most of the 9E and XJ guys that live in base should be considered highly retainable employee, since we're all just waiting for the call to help the company that treat us so nice all these years

Do you think that the flow through at XJ has something to do with it? That would be my guess, but I have no idea.

That's what i was curious about also. If mesaba just signed the flowthrough/back wouldn't that inhibit anyone from interviewing and getting hired outside of flowthrough order?

No, it does not inhibit. Not that any of us are getting interviews anyways...

That's what i thought, From what i remember with the COEX and CAL deal, you pretty much had to quit COEX in order to apply at CAL and get called out of Flow order. I guess thats one of the bad parts of a flow agreement, unless of course your at the top of the list at your regional.

Captain Wychor isn't the MSA MEC Chair anymore. He's working for National as the Organizing Committee Chairman.

Did you take the job at NWA, or are you sticking around?

You are not afraid of the 9 are you? That is not the kind of people we are looking for...

Please read this carefully:

We are interviewing MSA and PCL pilots.

(That verb was chosen for it's singular veracity)

The Flow Thru DOES matter! No vote yet...WTF?

I can't tell MSA pilots what to do on it, but I think they need to fast-track it. The NWA MEC is a bit "preoccupied" (<-- "PC" term for squabbling like 4-year olds) right now, so they won't do a lot of pushing. It'll be up to you to pull.

Good luck!
