I applied in the August window and my application is under review and the view direction link is displayed, but no call to interview or rejection email yet. Keeping my hopes up and staying positive.
 
I'll admit, I could be 100% wrong in my prediction.

The crews could be combined and a 15- year west F/O's would say to his freshly minted east Captain, "Hey I'm glad that's behind us. Let's let bygones be bygones, and let me take you out for a drink just to let you know there are no hard feelings. Hey and here are a picture of my kids. They've never had me home once on Christmas, because I kept sliding back down the seniority list on the west thanks to USAPA delaying putting a contract to a vote. No, I understand about the No Bump No Flush thing, it's just business, man. How were you to know they were going to cut 40 airframes after the contract was signed. I'll probably get recalled in the 4th quarter of next year. A walk in the park. I appreciate your "that sucks", I really do. That's what being in a union is all about, right? Looking out for someone elses' interests because that's how unions get stronger. Money? No, don't apologize. That Parker knew what DOH was worth to you guys, and he milked you for every penny. As a percentage, the $15/hr cut in rates wasn't THAT big of a concession. If I come back in time for the next vote, I'll vote NO every time until they get you back to $125/hr, you can count on me. So, let's lift a glass 'To USAPA, let the healing begin!'
Oh, and by the way, I'm not paying for your drink. I'm sure you understand."

Does anyone object to this thread returning to discussions of the USAir Applications that are going to fill the 120 newhires we need by March?

Yes! I'm an "eastie" and I do get sick of the usual suspects hijacking these type of threads. I really wish both sides would stick to threads dedicated to our seniority issues and let these potential informational threads alone...especially this one that is about hiring.
 
Yesterday I spoke with a Captain who not only conducts interviews but also is working hard at making the on-line application better. He said the company is strictly adhering to what they believe is a fair process so there is no "good old boys club" anymore. My opinion is that we will have system bids with vacancies (new hires) almost every month for a decade.

It looks like a wild ride ahead. I just hope the attrition keeps up at the possibly combined AA/US to keep us newhires off the street, especially if anything close to DOH is used in any potential merger.

I think you're on the mark with attrition. As long as no significant issues effecting all legacy carriers occur (Another economic meltdown, Raising the retirement age to 70, etc), it's hard to imagine hiring won't continue at or greater than the current rate, even with a merger. I wouldn't worry too much about DOH, either. A small group of fanatical proponents continue to insist it's the only fair way to integrate but reality can be painful. Besides, McCaskill-Bond legislation trumps union constitution...especially when that constitution was written after the legislation when into effect. Fences, while creating some long term issues, will probably be implemented to provide some sort of career expectation protection for both sides (*USAir and merger partner..if that come to pass. Not East/West, that ship sailed a long time ago). Welcome to USAir...I think once the monkey s**t fight is over, it will actually be a pretty good place to work.

I applied in August the first day of the first window. Have the view directions, but no call or email or an update to the view directions.

Latest bid results are out. 3rd list 07 hires have been awarded FO 75/76 PHL. The pay rates suck but same group is only missing E190 Capt by 70ish numbers. The place has its issues but if you can ignore the azz hats on FI you will realize its not all that bad. Of course any and all things could change tomorrow. It is the airlines after all. Good Luck.
Now que the azz hats in; 3,2,1

Well the news agencies know probably as much as the rest of us. I personally think it's probably not going to happen anymore, at least while AMR is still in bankruptcy. I think the merger will happen on AMRs terms once they exit.

Also it looks like there are now more unfilled positions for all narrow body fleets in all bases than the original bid called for.

I'm not your son little lady.

This guy's negativity clutters every US Air thread on here. We aren't all cranking old burnouts over here whining about our perceived failed careers. Some of us would like to make it through a thread without having to read all this self pity crap.

Find someone else to defend.

I'm in the same boat... Applied 8/27 and have the "view directions". What worries me is that guys that applied after me have gotten the call already.... :( ring phone! Ring!!!
 
I interviewed recently. Do they hold a board review or does background checks effect the 2-3 weeks notice for the good/bad news after the interview?
 
they take over 4 weeks to give you a yes. a no comes sooner. No news is good news from this HR Department
