[cotjones 10+ year member]

Just started at US Airways.

TALK ABOUT FREAKING AWESOME!

Amazing travel privleges to any US Airways serviced location

Thats 220 different airports!

On top of that, a first class upgrade vouchers are dirt cheap.

Although the training is bichin hard. About 3/4ths of the people I was in training with are gone.

Pay is low starting out, but you do get regular raises. I'm loving it, esspecially since the airport is only like 5 minutes from my house.

For us employees don't pay anything for travel, but your registered guess gets charged taxes on imputed income.

So basically, if the tax for a ticket was 20 bucks, your W-2 says you made an extra 20 bucks and you are taxed on that extra income.

Mainly just alot of tests and information to memorize, and listening skills. You had to attend a presentation and then at the end without telling you beforehand, they give you a test you have to pass or they ask you to leave. You have to make a 90% on all tests they give you or you go by by.
