I’m a new hire at US Airways.

Networking or knowing someone at US Air?
No. I knew absolutely no one.

US Airways is big on an initial training in the last 5 years right now.
Initial or upgrade within the last 5 years is what they are looking for.
My last initial was 14 years ago and my last upgrade was 13 years ago.

Most guys getting hired seem to have under 5000 tt and under 1000 pic.
I had over 14,000 total time and over 9,000 jet pic.


Maybe it has to do with age as well. I read that there was some study done for a few airlines that stated hiring pilots under the age of 32 with less than 1000 pic but more than 0 pic was the most efficient for their training.
I am 48 years old.

Look guys. Who know what they are really looking for but why would I be an exception to what they are doing. I’m nobody special.

Just put your best foot forward and hope that it works out. That’s what I did.

Best of luck to all.
