So now, I think that only leaves American, then all the "legacies" will be actively hiring!

Half of US Airways pilots are going to be retiring in in the next 10-15 yrs. (so I hear) so they'll be hiring for sometime, I'd think!

It looks like most new hires are going to the E190.

Lets just hope that the pay for an Embraer pilot at a Legacy is on par with what Legacy pay SHOULD be........Prob not tho........Carry on regional jets and the lovely pay system which they created.....
It's better than 737 pay at some legacies. It's actually better then their own 737 pay. Go figure.

It's higher for the first year only, then it drops to $15-40 less per hour according to willflyforfood.cc.

Assuming you could HOLD A330 as a second year FO.
I think the point was it's better than regional wages all around. You just make the $15 more the first year instead of the second year. It's sorta like second year pay for two years if you look at it that way. It SHOULD pay less than a 737, but it should pay a lot more than an RJ, which it does.

Well the chances of a new hire getting the A330 is slim to none, it is fun to point out that pilots returning from furlough have been getting the A330, along with the 767. I even want to say that there were some CEL guys who got the A330.

Dear Piedmont Pilot:
By the end of 2008, US Airways anticipates hiring more than 350 pilots to replace
retiring pilots and fill vacancies resulting from the delivery of 19 additional Embraer 190
aircraft. In addition to these new positions the mainline also expects to return all 140
former US Airways pilots currently working at regional carriers under the Jets for Jobs
program by April 2008. With those returns, US Airways will have offered recall to all 1,700
pilots who were furloughed during per-merger US Airways’ bankruptcies. That’s a milestone
Airways is delighted to reach.
After returning J4J pilots to vacant positions primarily on the Boeing 737 and Airbus
A320 aircraft, the remaining new first officer positions will be on the Embraer 190, Boeing 737
and A320 aircraft. US Airway’s strong preference is to offer as many
of these new positions as possible to you and pilots currently employed at PSA. While there are
no agreed-to contractual flow-through provisions yet, Airways expects to preferentially hire in
seniority order from the Piedmont pilot ranks.
Flow-up meetings with the companies and ALPA groups are being tentatively
scheduled for early October. If an agreement is reached then those flow-up provisions will be
applied to any eligible Express pilot under the negotiated terms.
If those discussions don’t produce a flow-up agreement by the time US Airways is
ready to being accepting new hires, US Airways will still proceed and offer preferential hiring to
any PSA or Piedmont pilot. Should that occur, any flow-up agreement reached after new hires
are brought on board may apply to any PSA or Piedmont pilot accepted under preferential
hiring provisions, as provided for in the flow-through agreement.
With that is mind, our plan is to have six pilots in March, six pilots in April and 11 pilots
per month in the May to December 2008 timeframe available for transition to Airways (a total
of 100 Piedmont pilots will have the opportunity to go to Airways in 2008). Obviously, US
Airways has to be sensitive to our ability to recruit and train replacement for those of you who
Piedmont Airlines, Inc.

Salisbury, MD 21804-1700

choose to accept mainline employment. Therefore, the precise time of this hiring will be subject
to operational constraints and actual attrition at the mainline, but the plan is for Piedmont pilots
to apply, interview and when selected, receive their anticipated class date.
The hiring of 100 Piedmont pilots at Airways will clearly tax our recruiting, training and
financial resources, but we’re committed to doing it because both Piedmont and Airways
management feel it is the right thing to do. In addition to the direct recruiting, simulator and
other training costs, we’ve made the painful decision to remove three aircraft from our schedule
in January and February, two in March and one in April. This will allow us to build up our
training resources so that we can support moving this many pilots to mainline next year. We
plan to return to a full scale schedule in May, 2008.
If you are interested in applying for employment at US Airways, please complete an
on-line application via the Careers link on the US Airways website,
www.usairways.com. We understand the value many of you place on a potential career path to
mainline employment, and are committed to doing our best to assist you.

and what ratings do you have to this point?
I've been stuck on time building for too long, so I can't say much myself...
