Us airways interview pool

[1.3XVso]

called yesterday for an interview in two weeks.

I feel bad for the cactus folks. Another spineless fool lowering the bar at airways.

Wow, anymore info on their quals? Seems to be a trend. Airlines are wanting that sweet spot in flight times. Once you cross that line in time, for some reason youre unwanted....Either that or FOs have more good stories about how theyve had to overcome bad captains ;-)

These are the general requirements.
1. ATP (I think a must have)

2. 4 yr Degree (a must have)

3. PIC (not a deal breaker, but everyone in my class had some 121 PIC except 1 who had a few thousand in the Bus. My class ranged from 500-5000PIC)

4. Recent full training program (not sure it's a must, but seemed like everyone had been through something within the last 5 years)

5. FMS experience (not a must, we had some dash-8 guys, but they like it)

6. Letter of Rec (not a must, but def helps, everyone in my class had at least 1)

Hope that helped. Once you get an interview it's yours to lose. They want to hire you if they brought you in

Huh..?

This is only an observation but it seems like PHX hires more FOs and CLT hires more captains.

Had all those requirements and didn't even make it to the interview. Plus had 10 years of instructor background and typed on the A320 with over 1500 on type. Also typed on the A330 another company aircraft.

Myself, my interview partner, and two friends of mine who are all 121 Captains with most well over 1500PIC were all hired in PHX, so who the heck knows, I sure don't...

7k+ total, 3k+ TPIC, 4yr degree, no violations, no training failures, clean driving record, 3 internal recs, e190 type with 5000 hours in type. 1500+ military, former asst. chief pilot, gold seal cfi and current company award winner. Trying to move close to CLT. I didn't assume that would be enough to get the class date offer... Over prepared and humbly interviewed knowing the scope of the opportunity and timing.

30 days to tell me I'm not what they're looking for. Good luck with finding out what it is they want... It's lost on me!

I'm guessing....they thought you would try and reinvent the US Airways Airbus training wheel with all your experience. Figured it would be more of a hassle re-training someone rather than the accepting the US Airways way of doing things.
