US Airways Calls

He shouldn't apply because he's right? This place has a ridiculous hiring process. They don't accept resumes when you fly all the way across the country for a job fair. Give me a break... He's just being blunt about the truth. Don't take it personal.

I won't dispute the fact that the hiring process from the third party vendor is crazy. The set up and application aren't with USAirways. You are actually applying to a third party in Chicago.

USAirways personnel aren't taking the resume's from the job fairs because there is literally nothing they can do with them. They already have the resume you would have uploaded with the application. Until the HR company pulls your app and forwards it on to the actual USAirways recruiters (Chief Pilots, Check Airmen, HR reps, etc) there is nothing they can do. However, once USAirways people get your app, then and only then, will your networking and letters of recommendation pay off.

It's just bad form when you pay hundreds of dollars to go to a job fair and they say, "do you have your application in and can we answer your questions?" Even if they would have taken everyone's resume and thrown it away it would have made everyone feel like their time was worth it. Instead everyone talked about how pathetic US Airways was and how United was impressive. Like Jumpers said, the third party process and application is a joke. The interview is great, the training is great, the work rules suck, the pay sucks, the crews east and west are great with a few exceptions of course, the potential is promising. Depending on which airline or regional you come and how you set your expectations will probably determine how you like US Airways. Best of luck!

It's nice to be a part of a professional outfit and away from the regional game!

Welcome to the party, it's good to have guys with great attitudes on the property. Not that bad of a place to work.
