Comments

• Things well get worked out in do time, I was a 2005 new hire, flew the 757 and had a blast. I was furloughed in 2008 three days after my second child was born, Been flying for a fortune 500 company, its been a blast to, but i well return to Airways and enjoy the ride. Its in my blood. Do not listen to all the negitive comments. (01/27/11)


• I've heard the same thing too, however when do you guys expect to recall furloughs? (06/14/10)


• I've been working at USAir as a pilot for 10 years.  Only someone who is totally desperate would come here.  The enviroment is so poisonous to the soul.  STAY AWAY! (3/23/10)
