US Airways Pilot Pool and Hiring

[Mad Dog 80]

Vetrider, yes AT is my buddy I guess he was on a LOA and not furloghed then. Just texted him a few minutes ago. I stand corrected. He is a great guy, we flew together on the BE1900 many life times ago. It's a small industry, how did you know it was him?

Migration, since you work for the training department do you have any info on the application window opening up? You are correct my buddy came off a LOA, I stand corrected I thought he was furloghed.

I had no idea if AT was the buddy you mentioned, but he was the one I talked to for a few minutes when they were on break, and there were only I think 4 guys or so in there.

Any new information on the pilot window?

Any new information on the pilot window?

Not sure if this info has been passed but I'll post anyway. Bumped into a Captain who does interviews this afternoon. He said a few weeks ago they interviewed a bunch that came from the last time the app window was open. One week after they interviewed those who were selected got a call inviting them to a July 16 class. He said they still have about 100 people they selected from that window that will be called for an interview NEXT week. His opinion was that they will go through that 100 fast and will have to open another window sooner than they thought.

DOH is a loser. Judge Silver to rule soon. Delay has cost you a bunch.

Hiring east this year. All bases next year. GREAT group of folks to work with! Phoenix is the home of the airline (for the time being). Economy & housing now improving. Best time to be in training: October - March!

How you been Nicky boy? Still grinding that stone, I see. :crying:

I'm new and in no way an east cheerleader but if this merger does go through and everyone pretty much agrees on doh are the westies gonna start screaming "nic, nic" !! Or are they gonna stfu and let everything happen as it should?

I'm new and in no way an east cheerleader (really?) but if this merger does go through and everyone pretty much agrees on doh are the westies gonna start screaming "nic, nic" !! Or are they gonna stfu (really?, nice.) and let everything happen as it should? (really? your opinion.)[/QUOTE]

DOH won't happen with this merger. The merger process will be lawfully fulfilled via the Bond/McCaskill legislation (which mirrors ALPA merger policy). If you went by DOH, then you would have to include TWA, Reno Air, AirCal, Empire, Piedmont & Shuttle (to name several).

The westies went into a legal process as determined by the ALPA merger policy where an independent federal arbitrator determined seniority with two pilot neutrals. The company accepted the list and paid both MEC's around $300,000 in promised funds. The "screaming" you speak of came from the junior east pilots that were furloughed when US Air was acquired by America West Holdings. After returning to the New US Airways, they sought to vote in a new independent union (for the purpose of evading the Nicolau seniority arbitration). USAPA officers & committee staff largely comprises of those junior US Air pilots.

All of these factual statements are verifiable in all the court proceedings & documents. You can research them yourself at: www.cactuspilot.com (Key documents & Library).

The law will finish this debacle. Period. BTW, it you're not a "chearleader", exactly who do you work for? Just curious.
