AA/US dispatch class?????

Negotiations take a while, minimum a year. The bigger the changes to the contract, the more time you can add on. And I'll have to agree with my peers, TWU doesn't make it any better of a situation. All too long to explain in this forum, I'd do some research on time periods for industry negotiations time frame.

The UAL north PAFCA guys were in negotiations for five years - of course the Continental merger didn't speed the process up any.

Yeah. I applied like an hour after it went up. One of the questions on the short preliminary questionnaire asks you if you meet a certain threshold of experience, and I don't, so it sounds like that was an automatic disqualification and nobody even bothered to read the resume. I'm not broken up about it. I'm 25 and six months into dispatching. I didn't expect it to pan out, but I figured I'd at least let them be the ones to say no.

I see. It took US three months to reject me last time and I when saw your post I wondered if they speeded the process up..

Sounds like myself. Two weeks or so out of class we had an opening at my company we had an opening for Flight Dispatcher and I submitted my resume with not even 6 months of experience like yourself. Figured why not and got a TBNT like a day or two later. It was quick lol
 
Does US/AA us do pretty well at choosing from in-house, especially wholly owned like EN or PSA, or do they pretty much look at any regional openly and the same?

Last couple of classes on the LUS side hired from everywhere, including Piedmont, SkyWest, Air Wisconsin, Expressjet, Cape Air, Compass, Republic, Allegiant, Envoy, DFW airport ops, and also a few internals as well, usually people who were in Hub Ops or in the OCC in a different capacity. They really vet everyone and try to select the best people regardless of background.

Well...I am thinking that with the posting going up today the earliest all the interviews could be done with and background checks would be the end of May, which would suggest a class starting in June. With two months of classroom training, that takes you into August which is when collocation happens, I would actually be surprised if the next class ever went to PIT at all.

Spot on logic, totally agree. Good luck to everyone!
 
Does anyone know about what to expect during an US Airways interview? Is there any sort of knowledge assessment or is it just you sitting in a room chatting with HR and/or management?

Since its legacy US it will most likely be a three part interview. First part consists of Targeted Selection questions which is the typical tell us about a time when type. Second part is a brief written test about meters and dispatch 101 stuff. Third part is a technical interview with a couple of trainers and it's very similar to a dispatch oral exam. One suggestion I do have is have a knowledge of how a fly by wire system works.
 
Well one thing I do know for sure is that apparently there is some sort wiring involved in flying the aircrahft. Did I win? (here's your sign!)
