737 type...Corporate kiss of death?

[El Bucho]

Here's what you do.

Send the FAA 2 bucks and get a replacement for your license that you "lost." Do this pre-737 type.

Get your 73 type and hand in your old license.

Receive your new license with the 73 type on it. Now you should have two in your posession. One with a 73 type. One without. Use your discretion on which one you show whom.

DON'T DO THAT. All air carriers anbd many corporate operators do FAA records checks. That will show your type. And now you are in big trouble with this employer, as you have LIED to them.

Rick1128--I understand completely. My AA "brothers" were some of the biggest offenders in that respect. I understand FEX and UPS won't even look at a furloughed AA pilot... TC

 

[English]

I was assigned the task of screening resumes for a co-pilot corporate position a little less than two years ago. I was told point-blank by the chief pilot to discard any resumes from any pilot who appeared to be furloughed from an airline (the irony being that I was furloughed six months prior to this). So, if there was any Boeing or Airbus experience listed on the resume I was to toss it. Also, if the person had high flight time, I was to toss it.

If you really want to get into corporate, you'll have to convince most operators that you are sincere about sticking around. Which means you'll need to be somewhat sincere about sticking around. It's hard to be sincere enough on paper to get past expectations and preconcieved notions. So, make a personal appearance and sell yourself.

in addition

In addition to what I have already said, one thing that got my attention is that the airline resumes tend to come with no cover letter, just the hours.. There is little effort to say anything except I have 14,000 hours in airline equipment.

Some even leave the job objective as : want position with major carrier or something similar.

No doubt they wonder why they do not get a call with all that exeperience driving that Boeing Super 947 let alone anything that we might have.
