Although the notion that SW guys are coming to US seems like troll bait, here's some food for thought on retirements:
Assuming everyone stays to 65 and no growth or shrinkage, today's US new hires will be roughly 90% of the way up the combined AA/US list in 2030. By contrast, today's most junior SW guy will be roughly 55% of the way up his list in the same time.
This industry is a crapshoot, but those numbers do make US look pretty dang attractive. Good luck, all.

flybywire, did your friend that applied in August have an application invitation in February for that requisition number? My August app still says under review but I had an application invitation for the latest req. #. I've heard that if you're still under review, they'll get to you-it's just a matter of when the computer pulls your name out. Is there any truth to that? Are they gonna give all the August applicants still under review a shot before they move on to other application windows? Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry, but I don't know how the selection process at US Airways works.
However I will say that moral is low at Legacy AirTran. They're losing captains positions to LSWA and southwest as a whole is abandoning its former business model for something new. It'll be interesting watching them abandon their "low fair" and "bags fly free" campaigns.
Cheers.

Mine now says "view directions" too... I did attend WAI and spoke with US, (in addition to other companies), when I click on the link it says:
"This is a profile review slot. A Senior Recruiter will be reviewing your information".

If I had more about myself, I would've asked the HR lady sitting at the table about the View The Directions link.
If anyone attends the FAPA event in Vegas, maybe they can ask? Although, I wouldn't pass up making a good impression or pass up a good question just to ask it.

Seems self explanatory or am I missing something?
It seems to say that it is set to be reviewed soon by someone other than the computer. I attended WAI, and also worked at a booth all three days.
Good luck!
