Well, in my experience the USAIRWAYS career web site now wins hands down as the worst on-line process I've gone through. And I'm not done with it yet.

1. Click on "pilot careers" - go through filling that out for an hour and find it won't submit. Try again. Same thing. 2 Contact USAIRWAYS via email: They say you must register first. Oh. Thanks for making that clear when you start. You register on the page "other careers". After you register then you upload resume, cover letter, education background, employment history then select career interest; "pilot" click apply and it sends you back not to the pilot additional information section (flight times, etc, which I did earlier) but to the start of the apply to the pilot section again. Whatever. So I exit the whole thing, figure I may have (or may not have applied) and click on pilot careers and start filling that out again - this time it passes by the employment and education history (could that be because I entered that earlier) - get to the end and try to submit and it sends me to the apply to the pilot page, which I've already applied to, I think. Then I do the apparently fatal decision to back arrow and re-submit and get the blank page. Call USAIRWAYS - lots of voice mail, getting sidetracked, now I'm supposed to call customer service MO-FRI during business hours and ask for recruitment. That ought to be fun. Time invested so far 3.8 hours. I could have done this in a hour and half with paper and pen and a 41 cent stamp. But oh, its for the ease of their use. Right. How many times do I waste their time finding out what's wrong? And its not for their use if they aren't getting the applicants they want through their web-site. By the way its a Larry Ellison/Oracle POS software. No wonder he rides around in a GV and USAIRWAYS is....well.....
