Most confusing question on an online application ever goes to...US Airways

[wheelsup]

"I hereby certify that I have not had an aircraft accident or aviation violation, which was the subject of investigation by Federal, State or Local Government Agency."

Yes
No

WTF?

YES, I certify that I have not had an accident would be how I would answer, but you have to wonder what they mean by this

Why not just say "Have you ever had an accident...etc etc etc"

Yes
No

 

[wheelsup]

Update. Answered Yes. Now it wants to know accidents. WTF.

 

[SlumTodd_Millionaire]

Wait, someone actually wants to work for USAirways?

 

[wheelsup]

You're so cool

Yup!

Just like people that wanted to work for AirTran.

Their pilots are all about 900 years old. All you have to do is sneak up behind one of them and yell, "BOO!" and you move up a number.

Some of you guys need to pull the stick out of your ass.

Or on the jumpseat list out of CLT.

I read it as "have you wrecked a jet that we're going to hear about during the background check"?

I think it'll be a great place to go once the dust settles, if it settles. Plus the pilot group is old to the point where you would be a senior Captain on a A330 flying from Philly to Tel Aviv in about 20 years.

Not sure I see what is so confusing about the question? Seems to me they are actually trying to take the confusion OUT of the question. Basically have you had a reportable accident which was therefore investigated and have you ever received a letter of investigation regarding a possible violation of FAR's. What am I missing?

I hereby certify that I have not had an aircraft accident

Then when he answers YES (which would mean he did NOT have an accident) , it asks him for details on the accident.

I remember that question as well. It caused me some stress but I answered Yes.
For what it's worth I got the interview and the job so it must have been correct.

Thanks, probably October.
I hope it's before the merger is announced.
