US Air Application Window

[SWA Bubba]

I don't understand why these major airlines, that need all these people, cannot get their job offers to make sense.

For example, I have about 5000 ME jet, but I don't qualify for USAir...because they want "Minimum Qualifications
- 1500 hours of combined turboprop and turbojet flight time"
I have 0 turboprop hours, so I am not qualified, according to the person(s) that wrote this ad... it says I need both jet AND turboprop flight time.

USAir, please hire a Technical Writer...

I think you're reading too much into it. It doesn't say you need both; it says the total of both types of time (different guys have different amounts of one OR both) must be a certain minimum. Even the way it's writen, you clearly satisfy that requirement:

In your case,... 5000 + 0 = 5000 combined turboprop and turbojet time, which is still way more than the minimum "1500 combined turboprop and turbojet flight time."

I don't think it's unclear at all, but if you don't want to apply there because you don't like their writing style, then knock yourself out. I'm sure that will teach them a lesson!

How are you not qualified?

5000 turbojet + 0 turboprop = >1500 combined turboprop and turbojet flight time

Ha! Beat you by one minute!

So I was pushing up against the 48 hour window to complete my app before they kick you out. I also could not get the supervisor, salary, etc input under the job section. Now when I pull up the online app, it shows as a pdf file. I can't find a way to edit it. Is it seriously impossible to edit the app without withdrawing and resubmitting the entire thing?

Is it ok to withdrawal the app then re-submit it?

It makes perfect sense. Make sure to tell them at the interview what idiots you think they are.

I was told on another forum if you withdraw you cannot resubmit.

What if you begin answering the questions and you loose connectivity or just "close out"? Are you able to log back in and continue answering the questions from where you left off?

I don't know if you'll have to re-enter or not. But, I think as long as you don't hit the submit button, you can save and return. It's gone for good once you hit the Submit button.

Ah, ok cool. That makes sense. On a trip, started a question or two on my IPAD, and then realized I should do this when I get home on my laptop. Thanks ERfly.

Please keep in mind, I'm on the outside looking in. That's just what I've heard, though.

Is USAIR that airline that no one wanted to go too that in 10 years will be awesome? It seems unlikely now but you never know.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. Years ago southwest, ups and FedEx were junk jobs that nobody wanted. Now look!

That is correct.

If you screw up you can close out the browser and start over again.

No, from what I understand you will be locked out. If there are any issues with your app you can clarify it in the interview.

I appreciate the fact that they have their own application processing site. Airline apps sucks. Pay to apply is ridiculous.

 

[BaronFR8Dog]

Yes it was open. I bet they got a thousand resumes in a half hour.

I thought there was a pilot shortage?
