The last bid authorized 104 by August. There will most likely be another bid out in 3 months authorizing more. All indications seem to point to continued hiring for the new rest rules, retirements and utilization of newer aircraft which are replacing older aircraft. I don't think there is a net airframe change, the new 321s are replacing the retiring 737s and the 5 330s are replacing older 767s. We did get 5 more 190s but I think they're all here but I could be mistaken. As others have talked about, apply at every app opening and don't take the "thanks but you weren't selected" email too seriously. I got one last year about 2 weeks before I got called for an interview. Others in my class got them while they were in class!

I'll clarify. Yes, I got invited for an interview.
I learned the process through our senior recruiter at my current regional. He knows the airways senior recruiter, and had tried to recommend me. The response was that he'd take it, but it wouldn't do any good...it's all random and totally tamper proof. Then he described the system. Best I know, keep applying in every window, and don't try to make sense of it.

Thanks for the info! Again, congrats!

I noticed this too..... I realize there are many many qualified applicants and if I get fortunate enough to get a call to interview that'd be great.... If not then it simply is not meant to be for me at this time.... It is a fun waiting game in the mean while eh?

I do notice that the application invitation that is on my under review one does have the date in which I got an email telling me I could re apply under the current opening.... Just odd as I have already applied under that window as well....

Are they going to run a new class tomorrow?

I know there is a class on 6/17 so they may skip this week and maybe have a 6/3 class instead.

It still amazes me that people would want to go to US Airways given their track record with furloughs, mergers, pay, management, etc.

I'm serious. I'm amazed at the amount of people that are completely satisfied with settling for a second tier carrier.

Lolwut, are u serious? Are u even aware what's going on? Are u HIGH? If you didn't know US is merging with AA to make the largest carrier in the WORLD. The most mandatory retirements in the WORLD. More attrition than any airline ever. You must have gotten turned down and are bitter. The past furloughs were a direct result of 9/11, bad economy and poor management decisions. For now two of the three are gone. The third is getting tweaked as we speak to integrate some of AA management. Pay is already been changed and agreed on in the MOU and go into effect on POR (09/01/13) which is up to par with UA and DL.
So I'm confused..... Are u a lifer at a regional? Let me guess "can't take the paycut". Your best day at that regional is a junior reserves worst here. There's even guys at SW that are interviewing here now. FACT.
Question... So would you say the same about AA when they start hiring? Sux to be you pal.
