US Airways Pilot/FA Recall

[Dornier 335]

Any reference? Would the co contact the miserable hopefuls in the hiring pool?

Anyone get a certified letter for an October class date yet? If so, approx. where were you on the list? Been pretty quiet this week...

 

[Trogdor]

Updates? Any firm dates for the second classes? How far down the list are they going?

EAST: Heard they are planning a class of 20 October 4th. I think the Sep class is full. Not sure how many have bypassed so far. Supposedly more info to come in the "Iron Compass" Friday. Have to wait and see...

The word is that they went through number 37 to fill the class of 20. Nobody seems to know if they hit those guys up again for the next class.

They do indeed have an opportunity to bypass each and every new class date.

Anyone called up there to see if they will eventually pull from the hiring pool or has it been dumped?

Sorry I can't answer your question about the hiring pool. The first priority is to bring back the remainder of the 224 on furlough. I have heard a "RUMOR" that some of the Chief Pilots are being called in for interview training. If you look at the US Airways career site you will see a large increase in other jobs that they are looking to fill as well. If these indicators turn out to be valid I think US Airways might be gearing up for some limited growth and also preparing for the retirement wave that kicks off in 2012. Just my opinion and as always your mileage may vary but figured some positive rumors might be welcome in this environment.

I have heard from numerous people that many of the east guys hitting 63 after this december have 18+ months of sick time accrued and will start burning it before next summer. Basically early retirement, the 65 wave will begin here gefore dec 2012.

Mike November I have sent an email a few weeks ago to the (now former) pilot coordinator DM. His inoffical reply was that he assumes that it'll be quite some time before Airways will call new hires. Additionally, he stated that I was still in good standing and that I will be contacted once the need arises for new hires (His assumption - nothing official!).

Has anyone of the poolies received a letter that the pool had been dumped? I hope not!!
