Just learned that US Airways Closed their window....

Does that truly mean the positions are filled and all applications submitted prior to today are purged and trashed?

If Your Status still says " Under Review".....is it just because HR doesn't feel compeled to change it to " Position Filled" or are you still being considered for future Staffing Possibilities?

Can the US Airways Crewmembers weigh in on this....I ask because I'm with a bottom feeder on the MD-11 in MIA..with well over 6000 hrs total time, over 1300 hrs Turbine PIC, over 1000 Hrs on the E-190, 737-700 time,727-200 time, Falcon 2000 time, MD-11 time, MD-11 Type Rating...I've applied with Fed Ex..but..I have No Sponsor and do not know anyone at Fed Ex....and I applied with US Airways because I felt that I had a decent chance of at least earning an interview......and possibly..the job...After all, people in class are being given the options of A320 DCA/CLT, 737 DCA/CLT, E-190 PHL....even the post was for E-190 First Officer......I would have been willing to accept ANY of those options...

I even have a very good friend of mine who has been with US Airways for the past 8 years ( we flew 727-200's together back in the late 90's) who personally endorsed my application, and submitted it with the blessing of the CP, to HR.

It didn't happen..I never got called, e-mailed, nothing....The posting is gone and the window is closed.

Congrats to everyone that got hired!

Enjoy training and the Mainline Flying.

Can the Airways Crewmembers shed ANY light on how they decide who get the nod and who doesn't?

I am pretty sure that it simply means that all applications had to be submitted by today.

How do you find out your status?

Originally HR was going to attend the Aero Crew Solutions job fair in March, I believe that is now canceled. I'll hold off speculating as to why they would stop hiring. Will post more if I hear something.

All of the positions are not yet filled. There are still openings on the permanent bid, but there are also 3 or more new hire classes scheduled for this year. The application window is now closed, so they'll probably be finishing up any remaining interviews and making any job offers fairly soon. A few folks may be lucky enough to be awarded a class date for the coming months, but others will probably remain in a hiring pool until pilot manning produces a bid that shows another need for a staffing increase.

I'd guess that you will remain "under review" until some other action is taken with your application. You could be offered an interview at some unknown date in the future, but once you see your status change to "position filled" that's when you know that the prior applications have been purged and trashed.

So right now I'd compare it to treading water. But I wouldn't hold my breath with expectations of a suprise. I don't see a new application window opening again, with interviews and hiring until maybe December of this year.

I asked HR about how I get a freinds app pulled. She told me they use a contracted company to pull the apps. So I don't think a letter or rec does anything till you get the interview. Its not like it use to be were you could talk to people to get it pulled and get the interview. I don't know what this contracted company is looking for on the apps.

A few of my friends got a "Thanks but no thanks" letter, so if you haven't received one of those, you're probably still under consideration.

If we didn't get the no thanks letter at this point, does that mean we'll eventually get an interview?

I think it just means they have enough apps to handle any needs through the short term. The class that started Monday was told 5 classes are scheduled through April, counting theirs. I think they've interviewed enough to meet those needs. I would expect interviews again in the Fall at best.

No, just means your application either hasn't been processed or you're still under review.
