US Airways Application Issues

[cbrown1]

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.

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?

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.

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?

What req. number is that for? The August or September Window?

I only read through the new MOU once. It appears that once this MOU is approved by all parties, hiring new pilots off the street could stop. American has a lot of furloughed pilots. Neither carrier will be allowed to hire new pilots until all furloughed pilots from both carriers have been offed recall to EITHER carrier. So before US Airways can hire, they must offer the open positions to the furloughed American pilots...

The mou only comes into effect once the merger is announced and that is far away I think. But either way if you want in you better hurry up and apply.

I'm certain very very few AA furloughs want to recall to usairways, much less come back to AMR at all.....

According to several online sources, it appears that it is beneficial for Horton to delay a merger for as long as he can. Many seem to think this summer is the target for this to happen. The longer Horton runs the AA show, and the numbers improve, the bigger the parachute he gets if he leaves.

The window will open again in March. Also, a third party selection source ISN'T used. It's all done in house. The massive disconnect is between PHX H.R. and the pilots. H.R. is filtering the criteria without ANY imput from the training center or it's instructors. What HR thinks is relevent and what the training center thinks is relevent are two different things. One example of this is the trainability issue.

Has anybody figured out how to update a resume yet? I've tried several times but every time I look to see which one is on file, it's always the old resume. I sent an email to the support e-mail address but I don't expect to hear back from them. I never heard back from them when I applied the first time and had a question about updating times on my application.
