Regional FO here. 5,000 hours total. 3,000 SIC at 121. 2,000 PIC of which 750 hours were Part 135 PIC. Not sure why I'm adding this but am veteran, was enlisted for four years as A & P.

Applied back in 2011 when the window was open. Nothing. Re-submitted today. I've heard of people getting the call that don't have 121 TPIC. Seems like it's a mix, some high time 121 PIC guys, some 91/135 guys and some regional FO's. How do I get them to pull my resume out and call me for the interview?

I would think very carefully before putting my application at US Airways right now. If the merger goes through, there will be an over staffing situation (as in the case of most mergers), and ppl getting hired right now might get furloughed. Again, I may be wrong in which case one would miss getting hired in the very very beginning of a very big wave. Anyone has any Info on furlough protection clause for pilots getting hired now?

But at least you'd be in the pipeline.

With the number of mandatory retirements approaching I seriously doubt a merger would result in furloughs.

Just my .02

I would think the same thing..... Us air has some seriously old dudes flying ..... Crews always great to me, but as old as Jesus's first pair of sandles !!

BYOB

Sandals is the proper spelling. But who knows, maybe in the time of Jesus (it was a long time ago) the word was spelled differently.

Took the plunge and applied. At least that way I can make my decision based on first hand knowledge.

Moonwolf

applied. because
A.) why sit around at a question mark of a regional airline as an f/o with no upgrade in sight.
B.) It's not a regional.
