Thanks for the replay, once again congrats,

 

I interviewed 6/15 as well, still nothing. I know of two others who interviewed 06/08 and 06/14 and haven't heard anything either.

Someone told me that they are pretty quick at sending the no thanks letters and those were sent a week or two ago. I'm really confused as to what to expect at this point. I really hope I get a call too, it's where I've always wanted to go.

Anyone else in the same boat?

 

Sounds like the process is worlds apart depending if you interviewed in phx vs Clt. Clt people seem to get calls in a decent amount of time. I know quite a few who interviewed in phx a month ago now without calls or letters.

 

same here buck, same here....

 

I'm sorry I forgot to mention, the three I mentioned interviewed in CLT. You can add another one I omitted, interviewed around the 12th as well.

 

Hey Buck, Were you at Mesa in PHL in 2005?

I can't send you a PM for some reason.

Also do you know if for the reject they send an email or a letter?

 

Yes, I was. From what I understand it's a letter within two weeks for the reject. What confuses me is the no call and no letter either after a month for some.

To send PMs you have to have posted 10 messages, I can't either. I just registered tonight.

 

Application window is open once again, hiring FOs (likely to be based in PHL on the E190).

Hey Trent890,

I was hoping you could tell us how many pilots US Airways has hired this year. I keep hearing about these classes but can't get a handle on numbers. It might help others gauge the likely size of future hiring numbers in 2012. Thanks in advance.

 

Here's what I've got:

First new-hire class of 2011 was all PHL E190 FO. Most senior guy had a seniority number of 3404. As guys came back from furlough and onto the bid sheet, his seniority number dropped to 3411 by the final permanent bid of 2011.

Final new hire class of 2011 went DCA A320 and B737 FO. Most junior guy in that class was seniority number 3459.

3459 - 3411 = 48 US Airways East new hires in 2011.
