US Airways 14APR class

[flyvalent]

Anyone else scheduled for the 14APR class? They will have slots for both West and East ops. West does not pay hotel during training after indoc. Kind of hoping for East. I am assuming West might go junior in the class. Well any-who if you are also in this class feel free to PM me.

unless you have family ties in the east you might want to re-consider. West does not provide hotel accommodations but they do pay significantly more year 2, 3, 4, etc. Also you start with 21 days of vacation on the West, min 12-13 days off per month, and 5:15 credit per day. But the crew room conversation might be a little more entertaining on the east. Either way good luck and welcome aboard!

I am in this class as well. The West slots should be more senior due to their better contract. I live on Right side of the country though, so I want PHL 190.

More importantly, how old are you? I am 34. I know one guy is around 33, and another is 40 or so.

It will be pretty interesting to have the vote results come out Thursday.

4/14 class

anyone have any idea how many of us are in this class and how many east/west positions there are? Does anyone even want to be west?

 

[DHPFLYN]

For those of you who have gone through the whole interview process could you shed some light on something for me. I applied a couple weeks ago and now my status says "Phone Screen" Should I expect a phone call from them?? If so could you possibly let me in on some of the question's they might ask? Also how long did it take from application to the interview? Would love to go to the west side if hired !!

Thanks for any help !!

My app has been at "Recruiter Review" since October. Any ideas on how to get a 'bump'?

Thanks

A letter is being sent out to new hires about the hotel thing. My understanding is that if you get based in PHX you will not be put up in a hotel after indoc because you are now "in base". If you are based in LAS then you would receive a hotel room during flight training. Make sure you read the letter before you spread rumors that are untrue. My information is coming from what I heard the Director of Training say. (this might be just "West specific" for all I know, but I have nothing to actually base that on.) I haven't seen the actual letter, but those coming to class should see it soon. There are only going to be a limited number of slots out West and after that there may be a "pause" on how many more classes there are going to be immediately thereafter. That is just my interpretation of what was said to us. Not a stop on new hire growth but a pause..... Good luck!

Hey Capt,

How many in your class got Airbus in Vegas vs. 737 in PHX? How was it decided - based on age?

 

[Captzaahlie]

Yes, it was based on age. 4 went to LAS on the 320 and 4 went to PHX on the 737.

,,,,yeah,and we got stuck with the '"Captain"

Johnson Rod-Welcome aboard, how was quitting Whiskey? I heard DM got a little choked up!

and I'll be your perfect little gear swinger, again......

 

[Bringupthebird]

Who would want to sit at $52/hr forever flying an E-190 vs making almost double after 3-4 years flying an A320? Are there alot of high-paying jobs out there for folks with E-190 right seat time, that they are preparing themselves for?

Lovely, can't wait to meet up with this guy !!!

On another note, I have got to call your brother today, he called me over a week ago and my MEC duties got in the way. If you talk to him tell him I'll call today.

Don't know why you want to hate him already. He is a very experienced pilot and a nice guy as well. PHX was teasing him, I believe anyway.

If you meet him, you may find there is more to him than a screen name on an anonymous website. I think you just got on a roll with the East/West hate-fest.

Just a worthless prediction on my part, but I think the new hires would tend to lean to the West point of view in union matters most of the time. If we are going to get anywhere as a union, we need to start realizing that inventing ways to dislike each other ain't gonna get it done!

Just wondering the same, status for me is "Phone Screen". Can someone shed light on the process and what to expect? Or what to look for in the status box. thanks in advance.

Tweaker,

Hatred is far too strong a word and dislike is not fitting either. I think his only draw back is commenting on subjects that he knows nothing about. No matter how he chooses to address it his statement was vile and uncalled for. Then to add insult to injury in very typical fashion he attempted to justify the action. I grew tired quick and figured that it is what it is and moved on.

I'm sure we will all meet one day.

Cheers

As far as website showing your "status" in the process...It was absolutely useless for me in determining where I was in the process. I was offered a job before it changed from whatever it said immediately after I completed the app online.

Realize, I work at a W/O carrier, so this may only pertain to those not coming from an outside airline. Sorry I could not give more info.
