Job Opening, Air Wisconsin CRJ First Officers

[say again]

How did "Hojets" get your email address, or learn about your qualifications to offer you an interview?

Haha, that's what I was thinking!!!

 

[AWACoff]

The day I interviewed at AWAC there were 6 other people there. My resume was the least impressive of the bunch. The others had more experience, some had previous 121 and jet experience to my none. 2 of us were hired...one with the 121 experience and me. The other 4 got the dreaded rejection letter in spite of being far more qualified than I was. All they were looking for was attitude and very little else. The technical portion was almost non-existant. All they're asking themselves in the interview is "would I enjoy flying a 4-day trip or an entire month with this guy?" Not much else...A good attitude, personality and honesty.
.

What he left out is that he paid $25k for a commercial PIC type rating on the CL65 and got hired with 400 hours TT due to the size of his wallet (Air Wisconsin used to have a "bridge" program for low time guys).

i went to a flight ops job fair in dallas right after getting furloughed and gave everyone there a resume, didnt really do too much research on go jets until afterwards. started reading some threads on here and then saw a long one where someone posted some long drawn out history about whats going on with all that and i said..... i dont think so.

With your rigs, what would be an average first year pay?

I made $25k back in 2006, with 7 months spent as a commuting, VERY junior lineholder. I probably could have added another few grand to that had not been dropping anything I could to make my trips commutable.

Hojets offered me an interview... they did it by email, too lazy to call I guess. I never responded to the email.... wouldnt even think of working there. id rather sit on the beach and wait for my recall. But, I can see why in some cases some guys have no choice.

Yea no kidding genius. Thanks for your understanding. Some people can't afford to sit on the beach. Enjoy your 420 dollar extension from Obama.

Enjoy your $420 bi-monthly check to fly a -700 for Hulas while TSA pilots are still on the street.

Like that is gojets pilots fault. Where is my violin. It looks like they'd be out of a job regardless.

Got the thanks but were pursuing other candidates email from Air Whiskey this morning anyone else receive one?

 

[Rook]

Me too.

 

[JudgeSmails218]

I got one too--I'd like to know what they're looking for. I've got over 6,000 hrs and jet PIC time. Too much I guess.

 

[Lynxman]

Well I know I have too little for their standards sounds like they want something in the middle.

Apply to Air Wisconsin or Commutair and see what happens. They are the two regional airlines currently accepting applications and resumes. If, at the end of the interview, you like the company or not, you have the right to accept or reject the position if they offer you a pilot job. In this day and age, pilots can't be too picky about what's out there. Take any flying job that's available and get the experience you may need some day for a better paying and more advanced flying position. In the end, the individual pilot applicant must do what is right for themselves. Good luck in your choices.

For better or worse, it sounds like the company doesn't want to look at pilots they KNOW will be leaving at the very first opportunity.

 

[Lynxman]

I'd be there for a long time I don't have the credentials to go anywhere else.

For better or worse, it sounds like the company doesn't want to look at pilots they KNOW will be leaving at the very first opportunity.

But they fly the CRJ, it's not the Dash8 or saab or props. Who would want to leave? Is it because it's the 200 and not the 7 and 9?

 

[relaxedone]

They posted on Will fly For Food this am .....

 

[greed]

I just got off a trip to see my mail and I got the thanks but no thanks letter also. Good luck to the rest of you guys (and gals)!

 

[Lynxman]

I guess they don't want anyone...
