US Airways Application Issues

[SAABaroowski]

There are guys I know who haven't been through initial, however they have gotten typed/upgraded in that time frame and got called for an interview

USAirways pickiness will bite them. When the others start hiring they won't be able to keep up.

From what I am hearing from VERY credible sources, is that the training requirement WILL be changed. The original requirement may have had merrit, but it is being disproven as more and more of the senior pilots upgrade and change equipment. Everyone has been stagnant at USAirways for quite some time, and now the "elderly" are starting to move again. My neighbor is a prime example of this- 25 years in the left seat of the 737, and has just recently completed 75/76 training for the left seat. They're finally figuring it's up to the pilot and personal capability, rather than stereotype and numberical magic when it comes trainability.

What actual error message are you getting (if any)? Have you tried Firefox?

I didn't get an error message, but when you get to the screen with the three options to upload a resume, cut-and-paste, or 'build' you resume, I've selected the upload option, try uploading the document, and hit 'next' or 'continue' option. The following screen gives you the link to view the resume they "now" have on file for you. No changes take.

When I re-submitted my application after they were dumped a week ago, the system recognized me and filled in a lot of the blanks. All I had to really do was the questionnaire over again. I then just quickly did the resume build option, because I didn't have my resume document handy (the screen told you that you could return anytime and upload another document later). So much for that.

I think that the previous poster was correct in saying that until the "window" opens again, what's on there is on there- and likely no changes can be made. That's my conclusion. But I'll keep trying!

US Airways tech dept is not the best in the industry, this is the same dept that put 40Gb hard drives in the KIOSH and partioned it at 6GB. Having moved to Windows XP when Microsoft started sending out windows updates those 6gb hard drives were overnight FULL. Thus the kiosk would not boot. Those asking about using other browsers give me a break. If the IDOT ID dept partiions a 40GB hard drive at 6gb they probably have no idea how to write code for other browsers other than Microsoft IE. Last time I checked a US Airways computer they were still on IE6. Currently most home users were using IE8 or IE9. Also they are NOT setup for OFFICE 2010. So this could be part of your problem. IT depts squeeze the last dime out of an operating system. Microsoft no longer supports WindowsXP and I would almost bet US AIRWAYS is still using it. Butpaying thru the NOSE for support.

You can't forget catcrew.

C'mon cbrown1, you love catcrew!

If they are going to open up a new window again, what happens with the people who have not got a rejection email or a call and are still under review from the August window? Do we all get flushed?

C'mon cbrown1, you love catcrew!

It makes one reminiscent of acoustic couplers.

Catcrew will be history when merged with AA. I'm guessing about the only thing left LCC when integrated, will be the employees and airframes.

I wonder what will become of the A350? I'm just curious if AA will go through a fleet consolidation to narrow the number of different aircraft they opperate with the same basic stage lengths?

Expect a new application submission window to open in mid March.

If US Airways is going to post a position award for May than we should see something soon.

March 2013, was posted on December 11, 2012

May 2013 could be any day now?​

Every time I log onto catcrew I'm reminded of the first time I used a computer (second grade, 1982). Catcrew is like using Logo - FD50, RT90, FD50 - I could draw the house.

Not to mention every time I print a trip sheet in the crewroom or get the paperwork printed at the gate. We are one step infront of the ditto machine here at AAA with our printers.

AA system isn't any better

My application says Position filled. Does that mean they will keep my resume for future hiring or that I need to reapply?
