US Airways Calls

[JumpersAway]

that would not be good for most of us....

Exactly- just like the Pinnacle vote.

 

[xjhawk]

I totally agree. You should then be pushing to vote that down as its not good for everyone. Under that line of thought. I will be calling you a scab for voting this in as it screws other pilots. You should hold the line and lose your job as a point that flows and such hurt the pilot group.

Ha!

 

[johnsonrod]

Whatever, the Sand People can suck it.

Probably the worst quote I have seen on FI in years. Insensitive and intellectually dishonest.

Dude, binding arbitration is binding - just like a divorce is a divorce. Those Cactus pilots had the same career aspirations as you guys and they won the legal argument after saving your AZZZZZZZ post 911. Facts are facts. I am sure Parker is aware of that and lawyers will be lined-up to enforce the BINDING agreement before the AA/US merger is consummated. The sooner you guys wake up and smell reality, the better for everyone involved. Comments like these only inflame the situation and make the Easties and their "union" look worse.

Rod,

Learlove is a "third lister", in other words he was hired after the merger occured. So, he apparently has been brainwashed by the Easties, and maybe developed a little Stockholm syndrome from these guys. He felt sorry, and began to believe everything they were saying to him, even though they never told him that their own group AGREED to have Nicolau as the arbitrator, and that their company, the AWA guys, and the USAir guys all agreed to the process, and signed on the bottomline. Maybe integrity doesn't matter to guys like Learlove. Maybe he is scared. The "Sand people"??? Wow, what a meltdown, and his E190 doesn't even fly to PHX in the Summer......He is nervous he will have TONS of Westies bid for his Capt seat as soon as they can, and unfortunately for him they probably will. But, it sounds like his greed for the seat has taken away any ounce of integrity he may have about fairness. (and YES, that is what binding arbitration does) It really is too bad.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Wrong - shows how much you know. Like many other topics you spout your mouth off at stuff you think you know about.

You would do us all a favor if you'd give us your best Kurt Cobain firearms demonstration.

So, you were an MDA guy? Regardless, YOU STILL DON'T SEE THE TRUTH. BINDING ARBITRATION WILL WIN, and that may cost you your left seat. Keep listening to your E190 Capts, they will steer you the right way.....NOT. Tell me I'm wrong about that..... And the funny part is that the only thing I got wrong was the "third lister" part, but you never responded to the rest. You can't, and you know that. OH WELL. BYE!!


Bye Bye--General Lee

Yaaawwwwwnnnnnnn

Fact: Seniority issues will be a moot point going forward at the new AA/LCC- attrition through retirements will progess everyone's career foward, from this point.

Fact: Delta just found itself the smallest of the legacy carriers.

 

[Turtle21]

I thought this thread was about USAirways calls for hiring. Can you guys take your "issues" outside?

Great facts. Only one is correct, the second one, and that could change, but third place will make more profits, as is the case currently. Retirements will increase for both, but only after the NIC is applied and then another arbitrator (all watching those sneaky Easties) decides the next list. Will the East try to pull a fast one if they don't like the new SLI? Doubtful, they will be the minority this time. Justice will prevail, and it will be interesting to watch, no doubt!

I second that

 

[Hardcorr]

Third!!! The motion for only Usairways calls passes! Take the arguments to another thread and have fun. let the people who are teying to get the information they seek have it without the jibber jabber!!!

It's been roughly 4 weeks since my buddies interview. Anyone else a hear anything or is a few weeks out from their interview

 

[zasca]

my most recent buddy waited over 5 weeks for a yes call.

 

[MATHEWS]

That's seems to be the common theme....5 weeks for a "yes" call. Can anyone speak for the dreaded "no" call? How long are those taking? I have heard three weeks from a gentleman who interviewed at the beginning of the year.

 

[zasca]

It's all over the map. 3-6 weeks for no calls. Maybe sooner. I've heard Yes calls in as little as a day or two from guys who interviewed late 2012.

What are they telling people as far as the amount of classes and how often they will be run?

I was told by the director of training last week they got the approval to hire an addition 238 pilots this year. US Airways that is. American? not sure

 

[JECKEL]

Rumor is American may hire off the street in the Fall.
This would be in addition to US Air hiring.

Great news! I'm curious what the projected AA hiring number would be. I'd imagine that there was a huge number of AA retirements right before the bk.

Somebody told me that there were fewer than 800 applicants on file for LCC hiring. I had also heard that UA/CAL had over 8000 applicants on file.

If that's true, I know half of them the way my cell phone has been blowing up since the merger announcement.

You sir, are an idiot

 

[beechjetdriver]

A little off topic- Does US Airways still use flight cases or are all the Jepps/Manuals electronic or have an aircraft set?

Ship sets, except for the 330s and a handful of 319s. They have efbs.

Yeah, no kidding. I got 4 calls in one day for help getting on.

That has probably been per day since the merger announcement.

 

[buxflyr]

Anyone know how often Airways holds interviews and how many are invited to each session?

 

[Bringupthebird]

The MOUgasms that have followed the passage of a very mediocre agreement tell me one thing: A Nic inclusive contract would have passed by a wide margin even with only a slight improvement to the Kirby proposal. The east's conscience was getting to them and the despreately want this behind them.

But I guess we'll never know and they have lost the chance to rebuild fences with the west.

There are a few more than 800 apps. Last I heard about a year ago was over 4000.

Every 2 weeks alternating between PHX and CLT randomly depending on who's available where. No idea how many[/I]

Brilliant- especially since you don't know to you punctuation at the end of a sentence.

The 800 applicant number was given to me by two credible sources in the hiring program. And yes, that was before the announcement was made, regarding the merger (November time frame). Basically, I was told that if you were met the quals for what they wanted, you'd get the call for an interview.

Re-read your first sentence and ask yourself if you should be giving literacy advice, moron

Oh really? I work in the training department also so why don't you shoot me a PM with the names of your credible sources in the training department. I'll ask them myself the accuracy of your statement. I work directly with People Scout and I'll validate with hard numbers that your previous post is 100% inaccurate and that you are again, a moron.
