US Airways 3/17 Class

[dirkdigler]

Here's the first class that will have 5 of W/O pilots from Piedmont. Anyone else going to this class?? (No east-west bickering please.)

Also, I have heard that they will be based out west.

Thanks in advance!!

Wow - PHX based? Nice. I would think they would prefer to be based in PHL on the E190 or bigger given that PDT is also based on the East Coast.

Since they saw Piedmont pilots, who all live east, coming, the only logical place to put them was, of course, WEST!!

Certain things just don't change, I guess....

Well, on the positive side, the housing market in PHX has tanked big time - you can live in the sun on the cheap there.

You can have a 5 bed room house for 150,000 and new bass boat for 25,000. Nice truck to pull it with for 25,000. Yup you can live real nice here in az!

If anyone knows the interview dates of the people in the 3/17 I would appreciate

 

[dirkdigler]

It was mid December. But I wouldn't use this as an indication of how long it would take from interview to class, since, for W/Os it works a little differently. They can't go until their company, PDT or PSA, releases them.

There are 10 of us recent PSA parolees in that class.

It's been mentioned around the training center in CLT that some of next class may end up in the 737. As usual, this should be taken with an airline-sized salt grain.

I have heard that also. In fact, the choices I have heard are 737 or 320.

Briefly chatted w/ a PDT Captain in CHO yesterday...Said he'd just done his last leg in the Dash and he was onto mainline and PHX next week. Seemed he couldn't get out of the terminal quick enough! Congrats, man!

What equipment/base are newhires getting now at Airways? Curious...

Thanks. I have heard 320/737 in west bases....

If it's a West base it will probably be the airbus.

If it's a West base it will probably be the airbus.

With a few West 737s going back early, I can't imagine them needing anyone else in the Guppy..........
