US Airways Calls

[linecheck]

Apparently the training department is operating to the max, so perhaps there will be classes indefinitely.

In a weird sense the longer the East/West dispute and PBS is put off the more hiring should take place in the near-term.

There have been no numbers posted for the second class in April or for the class that should be starting today.

Just happily filled the application again (for the new job #). My question is: do I/should I withdraw from the previous job #s for First Officer? Currently, I'm "under review" for three First Officer positions.

Any help/insight would be great! Thanks.

NO! That's the whole idea...

If you have three open "under review" means you still have the Sept opening application. They just did a big flush from the position. If you weren't you are doing okay.

Yet the Phoenix training center sits idle.

 

[Snaab]

So having 3 applications "under review" right now is desirable?

 

[greyskyracer]

How long does the yes/no take?

Not that I'm aware of. Several new hire classes have started their indoc training there. Recurrent training as usual. Things are plobably slower now than they were a while ago, because all of the 737 pilots have transitioned over to the new A321s. Parker has already addressed the fact that all training centers are going to be needed for the upcoming retirements and new aircraft. The PHX facililtiy while relatively small is very nice. In the late 90's I visited the AA training center in Fort Worth, very impressive. I've never been to the CLT training center, but have heard it is nice.

 

[linecheck]

Anyone out there in one of the July classes get their paperwork yet?

 

[cbrown1]

can anyone confirm a class started today?

 

[linecheck]

I heard there's a June 17th and a July 1st class. Beyond that, not sure.

It's like having more tickets in the pot for a raffle drawing is my understanding.

Good news: CLT training center is nice.

Bad news: You are in CLT and certain company hotels do not have a gym.

 

[zasca]

That's too bad. The normal hotels must be full.

I've know one guy that waited 3, another 4, several waited 5 weeks and another waited 7.

If after your interview US Airways says "don't call us, we'll call you" than follow their instruction.

Good luck.
