US Airways Calls

[buxflyr]

Anyone get a call this week?

Heard 150 new hires in the next 3 months, and some apps are now getting a "keep warm".

 

[PGTB]

Heard nothing....Are they evening still hiring? Or is everything on hold till after the MOU vote or merger?

I have friends in both classes this month and another getting interviewed.

 

[zasca]

People interviewed today. another class starts 2/25.

 

[buxflyr]

That's the thing. They said 150 new hires in the next few months. Merger or not, it usually takes awhile to get things settled.

Someone said July 1 would be the big day to be on campus by.

Any idea what this whole "keep warm" thing is? I am still under review from August.

 

[PGTB]

How long from interview to sitting in class?

about 6 weeks.

Way too much studying for CQT. I see a thread about US Airways calls and the first thing that pops into my head is Go Around/TOGA/NAV/ ;-) Time for a beer.

Have the new hires in that class been notified yet, or does that still have to happen? Hoping to warm a seat in that one

I hope you do, leaving BB's circus was the best thing that ever happened to me.

 

[zasca]

I think the shortest notice i've seen is 4 weeks prior to class.

isn't there one on the 11th?

 

[Iflyamouse]

Any idea what domicile / aircraft are being offered? Is everything E190 in PHL or are there other choices?

 

[kj6991]

There is a class the 11th and 28th scheduled.

Last two classes had 12 AB and 3 190 in each class.

Mostly PHL for AB with a few CLT and DCA in there.

The 190 went pretty senior in both classes actually

 

[outsidethecloud]

Interesting that the 190 went senior, if one were to get PHL or DCA Airbus would you be on reserve for years? Is PHL Airbus a commutable gig?

On the 190 you get paid slightly more first year, and you advance more quickly to commutable long call reserve or block holder than on the bus. If you change your mind, after one year you can bid the Airbus and no harm done, you didn't give up any money or QOL. The only reason to bid the Airbus first year would be if you prefer CLT or DCA as a base.

 

[buxflyr]

Anyone know if there is a hold on calls until after the merger is announced?

 

[PGTB]

Kinda seems that way, just based on the lack of posts on this thread and others of those getting on.

I don't know, but I don't think it's coincidental that they haven't produced a May or June system bid yet.

 

[Iflyamouse]

How long would it take to get PHX? Best guess ... Given the fact I just read elsewhere that there are no vacancies till May?

Or is that even possible the way things are structured right now.

 

[ALGFLYR]

May bid came out today... 15 pilot reduction system wide...

 

[Turtle21]

May bid came out today... 15 pilot reduction system wide...

And 15 retirements/departures. Appears effectively stagnant for now in spite of huge retirements this year and rest rule changes right around the corner. MOU allows large reductions at both AA and LCC. $1B doesn't come by "revenue synergies alone.

Hiring to East only. Doug said no hiring to West at least through the year.

The last bid had 29 mandatory retirements. This bid has only 5... The large retirement numbers don't really kick in until later in the year...

OK, I'm lost, What do you mean by "Keep Warm"?

thx

That's a status that some of the applications are getting. When some people log in, they see a status that says "keep warm".

It should say "food stamps"......because that is what you are going to be living on if you get hired there and make $25/hr your first year.

25/hr? That's not true...

 

[JECKEL]

I believe first year pay is $40 and second year pay on the Airbus in 2014 is $84.

 

[PSUPilot]

So does anyone know what it's better to have? I had the View Directions link which disappeared, and still show 'Under Review'. Never got the rejection email.

So is it better to show 'Under Review' after having had View Directions...or better to have 'Keep Warm'???
