US Airways Calls

[PSUPilot]

I think you're good. I did the same.

 

[CheckandSet]

I wonder what changed... Did mins change? I also received a re-invite email...

 

[i fly boxes]

They added a question on upgrade training in the last 5 years as supposed to just initial training in 5 years. Either way a no for me and probably disqualified again lol. I'm under review for all three windows. This is the most messed up system ever

 

[Otto77]

Their system is messed up. I updated today and got another email saying I did the initial steps but needed to also fill out a candidate profile with work history references etc. Only problem is I did this before when I applied and I can't for the life of me find out how to access this when I log into their site. I can only view my resume etc. Its frustrating as when I did the new application today it didn't prompt me to that section so I figured they must have already had that info? Weird

 

[Mad Dog 80]

Is US Airways still using the outsource company for this round of hiring? Or are they going to start doing there own selection of pilot candidates?

 

[greed]

Has anyone been able to upload an updated resume? I attempt to upload a new one, then when I view it the system show my old one. I tried using different browser (I.E and Mozilla) as well as cutting and pasting. Any suggestions?

Thx

I've been trying for weeks to upload a new resume. Also tried pasting a new resume directly into the text box. No luck; each time I click the "preview" button it shows the (now outdated) resume I originally submitted with the application. Call me crazy but I'm considering beginning the whole process over again as a separate applicant, using a new email address.

Maybe they will hire you twice...

Unfortunately, I think that withdrawing you application and resubmitting is the only solution to this problem. It sounds like they have opened another application window I too received the reapply email. When I got the end of the application it said that my history and references were saved from the previous application.

 

[Snaab]

Anyone know how long this current application window will be open? Thanks!

If history is any indication, then about 2 months. You will know it is closed when you receive another invitation to submit an application.

 

[BrickTop]

Does anyone know if Airways has hired Regional First Officers who have not finished their four year degree? I have owned a small business, started a family and never managed to finish my degree. I do have several internal recommendations however which of course means nothing!

 

[WSurf]

They have hired a few FO's at Regionals but the ones I know of have had 4 year degrees and were from the WO's. And internal recs mean a ton. Good Luck.

The last bid award was published tonight. There are 74 unfilled positions. 38 on the E-190 in PHL. And the other 36 are Airbus and 737 positions in CLT, DCA and PHL...

This bid also saw the first 3rd listers (New hires hired post AWA merger) make E-190 Captain...

 

[BrickTop]

So did I. The question on the accidents and incidents was confusing. It went something like "I hereby certify that I have not been involved in an accident, incident or violation of FAA rules..."

Yes or No.

How did you all answer that?

I put YES, as in, I certify that I have not been involved in an accident, incident, etc.

Then, the next 4 questions have to deal with this subject. So confusing! Probably ruined my chance right there.

This is the most poorly written question on the application. I answered yes and it also asked a series of questions regarding incidents accident violations etc. Has anyone Answered NO to this question? This could lead one to believe a person is inadvertently disqualifying themselves on the basis they SELECTED "Yes". Does it mean YES I certify I have NOT had an incident? Or NO I am NOT certifying I have NOT been involved in an incident? HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE question.

Ok, I answered the same way, Yes I certify that I did not do these things. So I am guessing that maybe when they realize that all of us answered this way followed be a few N/A's, it would make sense, I only hope.

Good luck all

FWIW-technically the bottom 2 E-190 captains are not 3rd listers. Both of them were MDA but they left MDA before we were "blessed" mainline and were offered their positions back at the bottom before off-the-street hiring started in 2007. Both of them were senior to me at the WO and MDA but are now junior to me.

Actually I'll split the difference with you...

The second to the bottom (BB) Did in fact get back to ML at the bottom of the list (3 pilots did that). But the last guy (JE) while at ALG, hired directly into mainline and didn't do MDA. He resigned from ALG...

Yes your right. Now I remember JE leaving for a fractional before MDA. So yes the last 190 CA on the May bid is a 3rd lister.

You say there were only 3 that came back? So BB (started a business) and I know PDc (went to NA) was another. Who is the 3rd? JW?

Should be a lot of stagnation for them. Remember the west is still owed 1/3 of all captain slots on the e-190.
