So basically if Sully himself wanted to re-apply at Airways there is a good chance his app my never ever get pulled.

So I understand. Doesn't change the fact that I am frustrated and discouraged.

The company doesn't seem to have an official stand on it. I specifically asked the question at my interview, and they basically said they didn't know, but they'd be happy with a .3 factor. I'd only put that on the resume though.

It then comes back with "below is the resume/CV we have on file for you" with a link to preview. I click the link and it still shows the original resume that I uploaded when I first filled out the application.

Am I doing something wrong, or can you not update your resume once it is attached?

It may be worthwhile discussing what operating systems and browsers you folks are using.

Swamp is angry because everyone except garbage pay airways has told him thanks, but no thanks. I just told Us Air no thanks. I would rater take my chances waiting on DAL, UAL, FED, or UPS then go work for the lowest pay in the industry. Swamp is the Crack WH-ore of the industry. Go ahead and give Blow to US Air for $2.00.

Are you not tired of being just another pilot LOW BUDGET BEEACH?

Why did you apply in the 1st place? People have their own agenda with career expectations (some actually like the potential that US Air has to offer). I accepted the job at US Air, hands down the best career decision I ever made. You feel accepting a job at US Air is a bad idea? I think your arrogance is overwhelming. Thank you for being too good to work at US Air. Enjoy continuing to work for a regional that has contributed to the degradation of mainline pilot careers through outsourcing.

There will certainly be plenty of opportunity for everyone down the road, but the number of retirements at merged AMR is unparalleled.

That's like playing for the Mud Hens and telling the Royals that you're waiting for the Yankees to call. Good luck!
