Anybody have the latest gouge for NWA? Willflyforfood was last updated in 00. Just wondering if the info is still accurate?

Thanks

Best gouge is; apply elsewhere, NWA should be lower than "Dead Last "on you jobs list.

Don't apply to NWA. You'll regret it! Do yourself and family a favor. There are many other options available to you. There is a pilot shortage on the way. Do not cut yourself short. NWA is hiring because so many are quiting.

Mad,

Things were really bad earlier this year, but they are getting better. There is at least some movement and if you don't like the schedule or airplane you are flying, you can bid a different aircraft. New hires are probably going to be slated to go to the 320 and the relaxing of the "mandatory no open time" seems to be helping with the schedules. To sum it up, I think our contract is better than United but the pay is worse. So, I don't think NWA should be lower than dead last on your list. I might remind some people that that is exactly where UPS, CAL, Fed Ex, and even Southwest used to be. Now look at them. Maybe if we quit complaining and do something we can move up as well.....

Yes. There is absolutely nothing that the NWA pilots can do except complain irregardless of what NewKnow claims. Pilots are quitting in the MIDDLE of trips. And, early retirement requests have soared. Is that a good thing? You decide. But, I am tellling you and, FURLOUGHMAN is telling you, go elsewhere.

Hi!

You definitely don't want to apply at NWA, because there are so many other great options that are WAY better, such as:

Big Sky
Great Lakes
Mesa
Trans States
Colgan
Pinnacle
Mesaba
Compass
Comair
ASA
Skywest
AWAC
Southern Air
Tri-Coastal
Air Tahoma
Skyway
Shuttle America
Cape Air
Skyways
PSA
Piedmont
etc., etc.

So, NWA should be LAST on the above list???
