Rejected after Airnet phone interview - now what?

[Princedietrich]

Don't stress over it brother. Relax, have a beer, have another beer, and then hop back in the airplane. My guess is that the phone interview didn't pan out because of total time since you only have 850. Once you finish up that block of flight time you got and reapply, you may get a completely different response. Just remember to be yourself and don't go overboard trying to impress the recruiters.

you should at least wait until you sober up first,,,

 

[Princedietrich]

Doh! good catch, how silly of me.

Since when did AirNet start hiring people with absolutely no sense of humor?? Geez people, we all know not to drink and fly, PD was making a funny. I got it, maybe because I knew his dry sense of humor.
I recommended a good friend for the job, he had right around 1000 hours when he applied. He didn't get the job. He waited his six months, reapplied and was hired. It showed Washka how bad he wanted the job, that he indeed did get the job. So continue to do what you're doing, instruct some more or whatever and reapply in 6 months. Good luck.

Bah, he's alright HAZ-MAT. I figured he was making a wise-arse remark with a big ol grin on his face, and ran with it as such.

I want Airnow's SAV. Gotta do that time first with somebody though.

I also have applied to Airnet with time quite similar to computerguy's. No word yet but I haven't updated my app. Computerguy, did you update often before the phone interview?

What's up with Planemesters? I haven't heard of them.

Hey Mcjohn,

I have a friend who works for planemasters-- good company that has Caravans, King Airs and Citations based out of Dupage. They've got a number of caravans around the US.
Not sure what the time requirements are, but my friend is happy with the company--

 

[tathepilot]

Thanks CF! Good to see you here. Been a while since we chatted at PPW. Where the hell is Dupage?

Ehh.. I'm 12 hours from home right now. I guess 10 would be better.

Thanks.

Also might want to check out Plane Sense (planesense.com). Fractional PC-12 operator. Based in Manchester, NH. I honestly don't know a lot about the northeast, so I have no idea how close that is to where you need to be, but just thought I'd throw it out there. Keep your options and your eyes/ears open...good luck.

I agree with the poster that said be yourself! It's got to be mighty hard to do that on the telephone, but just be relaxed as you can. (maybe a beer or two wouldn't hurt after all!

1500 hours and an ATP wouldn't hurt either. Don't push the issue of being located where you want, etc. Let them know you want the job and are willing to accept some hardships to get it.
Good Luck

i wouldn't hold my breath and completely devote myself to airnet. I know several people, myself included that did not get the job offer... i guess Craig didnt think we "picked a company".... think he needs to get a life.. they seem to have some sort of selection criteria to which me and several of my friends were unable to crack... but my point is, that if you just keep holding out for them and do get past the phone interview, the job still is NOT yours, even with a solid sim ride.
Keep all of your options open and dont put all of your hopes and energy into one company. Ram air frieght is an excellent company from what i hear, as well as flight express. As far as your living situation.... you may just have to suck it up (god knows, most of us have) and know that its just a stepping stone and a temporary inconvienience to live someplace away from home.

Just don't drink a beer or two before the real interview. It didn't seem to work too well for me. :laugh:
