Join the crowd. There are a lot of us like you. The problem is that we need letters of rec from people at CAL. Almost no other way in at the moment...

If your a female black lesbian then you wont even have to interview. Affirmative action is such a ********************ing joke. If your a white male then your the true minority.

Check the minority box.

Start networking! You must know someone who has a friend at CAL. Start asking around. Unfortunately, getting the interview is more who you know than what you know. Once you get the interview it's all you.

Punch - You, my friend, are a complete and total idiot. I hope CAL, nor any other professional aviation company hires you. You are a disgrace.

To honestly answer the question - I recently got hired after waiting about 11 months for an interview. I had one co-worker that I flew with who also flies for CAL on the 756 write me a rec and talk to the chief pilot for me. I had about 5 other letter's of rec from supervisors/commanders that have flown with me professionally as well. There's my 2 cents...best of luck! It's an exciting time and a great place to be.

Actually, if you spend a little bit more time in the civilian world, you will see that AA is a joke. Especially at the major/legacy level.

His delivery may be that of an "idiot" but the elephant in the living room is that with jobs nearly as easy to come by as a nugget of gold in the Russian River, hiring women and minorities ahead of more qualified white men is the real disgrace..

I always thought you Airforce types understood this stuff, you did after all oppose the communists and social engineers of the east for all those years, right?

Yep, us "Air Force types" and other military aviators DO understand this "stuff" - as you call it - and it is indeed a disgrace for the AA BS that does go on...in all walks of life. However, you can still be a professional on here and state your opinion in a way that doesn't make you sound like a complete buffoon...as was the case with punch.

And yes, we did oppose the communists from the east from year's past, because our job as military soldiers and aviators is to defend this country so you and punchy the clown can post whatever you'd like on this forum.

Any info on what effect raising the retirement age will have on hiring/upgrades? So far I have read "hiring 350 next year will be cut in half" to "no real effect because of medical retirements."
