"We're looking for people who want to get a start in the aviation industry," says Jerry Glass, US Airways vice president of employee relations. "We have pegged our labor costs to the low-cost carriers ... and our labor agreements have made us very competitive with those airlines."

Maybe US Airways will start hiring pilots also, at $20,000 a year too.

Scary, isn't it....

I especially liked the comment about "free travel". Wait till they get briefed on that one. Free....too funny!

Hey, that'd be a pay increase for me.

$20k/year living in DC, sounds like fun- nice places in Georgetown to call home.

I wonder if they will give me a part-time job that I can do while sitting reserve in DCA.

That would be WAY too efficient for USAir to even consider it! Nice thought though.

Would it be a poor choice to take a job at a carrier like Piedmont right now? Is any of this stuff affecting them?

 

[ultrarunner]

you're kidding, right?

 

[88_MALIBU]

uhhhhh no..


They called me for an interview. I am Serious.
How can they be growing right now? Or is it due to unhappy pilots... I am guessing the second

They have a class in two weeks starting up. Piedmont makes money, so if USair goes under someone could buy them. I know there has been offers in the past to buy them.

Really, how do you know this? Please clue me in.

"The Arlington-based carrier, fresh off labor contract wins with its major unions..."

Uh, yeah, sure, "wins"...that's what they were. Wins, like we're beating the competition that is our employees.

We can't beat Southwest, so lets go into bankruptcy, strong arm our employees and gather some "wins." Twenty first century American Capitalism right there folks. Did you hold up a liquor store with a .357 and "born to lose" tattoo? That's a Win!

The sad thing is I heard on the radio that over 2000 people showed up to try to get less than 200 not so great jobs. I guess it isn't just pilots that don't mind working for very little.

This clown Jerry Glass ranks right up there with Frank Lorenzo and Johnathan
Orenstein as far as management losers go. Unbelievable.....
