What's LOA 93?

None of this affects a potential new hire pilot at US Airways.

A new US Airways pilot will receive reduced vacation and pay, but seniority movement is exponential.

New hires should not care about East/West infighting, but they should enjoy the seniority movement until pay/vacation is restored.

BTW, 1 week of vacation on reserve can be equated to two weeks off if bid properly. 1 week vacation as a line holder is still 1 week vacation.

US Airways is not GQ, but it is not a bad place to be GQpilot.

LOA 93 is the bankruptcy contract that pays East Airbus captains about $3 an hour more than a Brickyard captain.

Both contracts are way past due, but nothing will change for the foreseeable future due to the seniority integration failure.

An AA/LCC merger during or post BK would solve this issue in ~3 years.

Yes it would. I think a lot of us are looking at that as the solution. Heaven help us all.

Just a quick question for those with apps on file. Does Airways give a thanks, but no thanks email if you don't get selected, or is your app always "under review"? I know I am nowhere near the competitive mins for Airways but would like to know so I don't keep checking, or if I need to reapply when another window opens. Thanks.

What are the competitive minimums for Airways? All I've seen are senior FOs or very junior Captains with less than 1,000 TPIC get the call. Meanwhile guys with 4 or 5,000+ TPIC or Check Airmen don't get called. I even met a guy who had 8,000 hours, 4,000 TPIC get his stuff 'walked in' by a friend (A friend of his made a phone call to an HR guy to pull his app) and got nothing.

Are they purposely calling only people who don't meet the minimums at other majors and can't leave to another job once hiring opens up?
