US Airways May 12th class

[WSurf]

Okay, I have been hearing that if UAL/US Airways merge we are looking at big time furloughs again.

Once they merge they want to shrink it and close a couple of Bases. Anyone else hear this?

I heard company cars, hot secretaries to update your jeps and big bonuses.......

I heard free subscriptions to Ebony, company paid dubs, and all the chitlins you can eat for crew meals.

Interesting.

I interviewed in February and am waiting (indefinately) for a class date. Of course I am "off the street" not PDT.

I understand the whole PDT/PSA thing so I'm not going to whine about it. You guys should get preferential hiring. But it is frustrating to be offered a job and then watch classes fill up with no relief in sight, and have to get the real scoop off of FlightInfo.

Whats worse is that all the WO'ed pilots were to have jobs offered before any off the street hiring was done.

So I am sure a bunch of our folks were frustrated when off the street folks were hired before them.

With whats going on with Fuel/merger, I wouldn't wish to be there so fast. It could be a blessing for you that your class date is delayed.

But congrats and good luck.

I've been retired for a few years now but I would be absolutely certain the guys I flew with on the 330 had more taxi time the most of the Westies have total time.

Hey Pops,

Did you wear your hat while flying , too ?

Instructor staff today tells me the 5/12 class was to be 12 but now only 6 pilots. Good news it will not be the last, however.

Still only Whorely-owned pilots who receive parole from their wardens to be in class though.

Interesting that a guy would leave Compass to go to US Airways. Doesn't the Compass folks have a NWA number once hired there?

According to D.M. no new classes until July.

I heard they have to be Compass captains for
3 years first.

The compass guys and gals have to be on compass property for 30 months and be captain. There is requirement for length of time as captain. Just 30 months/captain/and of course nwa must be hiring.
