I don't think that it's even necessary. I think they have an automated response through airlineapps.

 

[cardinalflyer]

What are the recency of experience requirements? Do you need to have a current job flying?

 

[RiddleEagle18]

prefered not required.

[RiddleEagle18]

oh damn what a puke..... actually trying to recruit for the same company that screws its employees. there is a reason that they are understaffed. geek

 

[RiddleEagle18]

yea im a puke. Trying to get other guys jobs. What a horrible person I am. I will go jump off my balcony. If we were not supposed to work at an airline that screwed it employees then we would all be out of jobs. The haven't screwed us yet and if our MEC has anything to say about it they wont get much. So I am a horrible person for trying to get guys jobs at an airline that will still have a better contract than most regionals even if they impose.(Which they wont) Come on that is why this industry is where it is now. We all need to quit attacking each other and band together for better contracts and yes even try to get other guys a job flying.

I will go jump off my balcony..

Hey, before you do so, can I get your stick-em notes? I'm dead broke.

 

[RiddleEagle18]

Bogus recommendation?

Anyone who wants to take a chance and interview with comair that meets the 600/100 PM me and I will walk in your resume.

Riddle guy – as much as I appreciate your efforts of helping other pilots in getting a flying job - how can you "walk in" someone’s resume when you know nothing about the person???

I mean, you have never flown with the individual, nor have you ever socialized with the person, in fact the only thing you know about this person is that you got his or her resume by “advertising” on flightinfo.

“Walking in” someone’s resume means endorsing the person – what are you basing your recommendation on???

 

[RiddleEagle18]

very true... Maybe a bad choice of words. Rather than a recomendation lets say a refferal. Maybe not a big difference but the company is looking for anyone who meets the mins and is qualified. So if I can put the two parties together than great. No time will I endorse the person applying unless I can personally attest to thier skills. Just putting two pieces of the puzzel together.

 

[RCA]

Just putting two pieces of the puzzle together and 500 bucks in your bank account.

 

[RiddleEagle18]

can you blame me for working the system. After all it is the pilot way. Besides I am a first year f.o. about to take a pay cut:beer:

 

[myq2u]

Sad...

"No time will I endorse the person applying unless I can personally attest to thier skills."

Hmmm, your first statement seems to contradict that:

“Anyone who wants to take a chance and interview with comair that meets the 600/100 PM me and I will walk in your resume.”

Can you tell me exactly how you’re planning on “attesting to their skills”??? Are you going to take them out for a beer round or are you going to take them up in a Cessna for a few “touch-n-goes”?

I know nothing about your company and do not mean to sound negative but I think you’d be more honest by saying something like this:

“Dear Pilot/Pylott/Pilott - If you can breathe, and aren’t totally deaf or blind I will gladly give you the highest form of endorsement for a position at my airline by walking in your resume!!!

Yes, that’s right! I do not know you; I have no idea who you are or even if you can fly worth of crap. Neither do I know if I, nor anyone else, will be able to put up with you on a 4-day sequence.

That’s ok however, because the management at my airline and I mutually agreed that the $500 check I will receive for my “endorsement services” is more important than the safety record of my airline. Thank you for applying!

Also, if you are looking for a house, I will gladly recommend a top-notch realtor to you!!!”

Sorry about the sarcasm, but I just don’t get it. I guess the days of “real” recommendations are long gone, huh?…

 

[RiddleEagle18]

ok all you did was say the same thing over again and must not have read my post. I am assuming the role of the recruiter per the companys request.

I said I will not endorse them unless i can attest to thier skills. Meaning i know them and have flown with them.

However I dont need to fly with someone to refer them to the company. There is a difference in the two statements.

Example
If you meet a pilot applicant at the local airport one day and he was applying to airlines and you said hey you should apply to comair heres why. That is a refferal not a reccomendation. The company has requested that we refer pilots to the company not reccomend them.

Example two
If I have a coworker I used to fly with and I give him a letter attesting to his skils to bring with him to the interview. That is a reccomendation. I hope you can see the difference in the two statements

I think you are stuck on my orginal statement which I corrected after you correctly pointed it out. The reason I need to walk thier stuff in is to verify that I reffered them to the company.

So I hope you can see the difference. The decision to hire them is still up to the company and the company knows I have in no way endorsed this applicant or his safe flight as you have put it. We do not recieve the bonus for the refferal unless the applicant in hired and with the company six months later.

I hope this sets you mind at ease and you can see the difference in what you are suggesting and what is really happening.

600/100

Oh Jesus! What has this world come to? My gosh that is low experience!

 

[myq2u]

Yes, I do see the difference and I guess part of me understands why you are doing it.

At the same time, since your airline seems to be quite desperate for pilots (after all, they are resorting to paying out small bribes to the pilots for the “referrals”) it means the majority, if not all, “referees” will get hired.

So be careful what you’re wishing for! The extra few dollars might be meaningless in a few months when one of your “referrals” turns out to be your FO and you find yourself flying a one-pilot-aircraft.

Either way, good luck and I hope your company weeds out the bad ones even though they’re hurting for pilots right now.

 

[RiddleEagle18]

LOL where have you been. Most of the regionals have been at that level for over a year. I think express jet is 500/100 for the past year or so. Everyone seems to forget the past though when guys used to get hired with only a commercial single and get there commercial multi in the airliners itself. Happy New Year :beer:

 

[RiddleEagle18]

I am one of those new F.O.'s :laugh: I do feel bad for the captains too. They will have to babysit for a while but I realize that and will make all the effort I can to learn the ropes quickly.

And your very right. All of the guys will atleast get an interview most likely,but they are still pretty particular on who they hire. Well Maybe not they did hire me.

Happy New Year

 

[Papa Woody]

Relax...

Comair will be out of bizniz as soon as the flying can be transferred to ScabWest and AScabA.

They can't do that overnight, but think of the 600/100 crowd as "temp workers",

and, like Comair really cares about safety!...they'll be defunct by July...

 

[CoolSidePillow]

dont call me francis and this guy is still a puke. helping someone out to get them into a regional especially with one that doesnt know if it is coming our going. yeah that is a big help. that is what this industry needs more 600 hour wonders who are so tickled pink they are flying a jet that they will do it for nothing. afterall they are airline pilots now. and those who were hired with so little in years past...... well airlines used to crash a lot more too. a lot of those guys flew sideways as well.

 

[SoberIrishman]

Mr Riddle,

Please don't take offense, however I hope your "clients" can spell better than yourself when they construct their resumes for you to "walk in".

I have nothing at all against low-time folks, if they can demonstrate the ability to handle a sophisticated jet, or turboprop, aircraft to the practical test standards required. You sound like you are just after the money. I am sure your company designed this "scheme" as a means by which employees can recommend someone they have actually known for some time. Otherwise you might as well just go down to the local Acme Flying School and begin signing them up!

 

[SoberIrishman]

Papa,

How do you figure the "AScabA" comment is justified?

 

[SMOE]

No they'll still be flying. Delta will keep them around now that they've given back everything that used to make them the industry leaders. Maybe the G0 Jets scumbags can get hired on and find some self-respect...

 

[Bringupthebird]

Recruiting strikebreakers who won't be off probation if/when a strike comes??Don't you understand the leverage you have with your company when they are short-staffed? Does the Law of Supply and Demand ring a bell? Why are you trying to solve a problem that presents you with a great opportunity? Remember when your instructor first told you to look all the way down the runway?

Actually, the "scheme was in place before I left Comair. It is not designed for pilots to recommend some one they have flown with. It is truly a referral system. You refer some one to the company, the company screens them, and if they are still online in 6 months, you get the $500. He is playing exactly by the rules Comair has laid down. Hope that helps. Happy new year.:beer:

Spelling, punctuation, and style aren't your strong suits, are they. I have a bunch of retired NWA friends who got hired with 300 TT and 50 Multi. They did alright and so will these kids. If Comair goes tats up, they will have a "pass" on their resume so the next scumbag operation they go to will know they can pass the ride. If they don't go tats up, then they will be at a scumbag operator that is no worse than the other scumbag operators out there. You still need to lighten up... Shirley, if you think about it, you will see that I am right!
