Congrats! When is your class date? BTW, I heard that we are increasing the hiring based on the projected block hours for next year.

Maybe 16 per week now. They're being killed on the IRO lines out of Newark which fly near 100 hours per month but only pay 70 since deadhead went to half pay in the last contract.

Does anyone know if meeting the CAL recruiters at a job fair helps any to get the much desired call?

CO Hiring

Hi Kaki,

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question.....however, the key seems to be a inside contact at CO. Best of Luck. I've heard that we have new hires going to the B756FO in EWR........ Also, stepping up classes to 18-24???

When you get on with CO consider going to GUM! Best held secret on the airline!
Used to pay second year pay with a 18 month agreement, but upgrades to B756/B777 would release you from the 18 months. Also, GUM pilots get $1100 per month taxable COLA.

I 100% agree that the only way to get hired at Continental is to know someone from the 'inside'.

So, I will make the same offer I made a few months ago...

So all you continental pilots out there listen up. I want to hire you!!!

$1,000.00 to anyone that can get me hired at Continental!

this is not a bribe, it is simply a business transaction. You have something I want. (Connections within Continental) And I have something everyone on the planet wants...Cash! (Not much, can take out loan if I have to)

It is a shame that all of us very qualified people out here cannot be considered for a Continental position simply because he doesn't know anyone that works there..

However, I am still keeping the faith.

P.M. me if anyone is interested in this.

Thanks

Keep the faith. They'll ge to you! Best Wishes

I don't know if CO recruiting attends all the job fairs. But, they did attend the one in DC last weekend.

 

[kaki]

Yeah I know, I was there and they told me that my resume was very competitive and that internal recommendations would get me the call.....I'm still waiting....like everyone else, it is hard to wait for something you desire so much....good luck to everyone!!

Be a member of the gay pilots assoc. That helps.They just hired two of our openly gay male F/O's. Same class, starting sometime this month. Look for the guys from the same company. Well, I guess just another group with great networking power.

Cheers,

Hello Continental...??

I am a gay minority female with a handicap and three letters of recommendation, but only 250 total time and just got my commercial rating (after 3 tries...). Will you hire me please??

Continental: U HIRED!!!


Why does this sound familiar? Oh yea, UNITED!!

 

[Pilottodd2]

Some enterprising Continental Pilot should put his 'friendship' for sale on Ebay. Highest bidder gets his/her friendship and, therefore, recommendation for employment.

"...and the highest bidder, and new Continental F/O is..."


moychendizing. It's all about moychendizing

Imagine that out of the 100 pilots, the one gay minority female with a handicap took your slot. Obviously you were not competing with the other 100 guys just the one gay minority female. I can't believe you look that bad on paper that one gay minority female with a handicap was invited for an interview over you. If only you could have competed for a slot the other 100 pilots had.

Maybe, only maybe, should those that are so worried about how one or two minorities, women, gays, albinos, castrated pilots took their so called god given slot due to "look ma, look at my hours, I'm qualified", they might want to decide to worry about themselves and improve their resume, education, qualifications, network and stop making excuses about the next guy. Funny how those that get the interview or job don't seem to complain too much, weird ha!!!

Maybe if you concentrated more on you than how one in every 100 got your slot you might find something to help you get the interview. Nobody likes excuses, especially during an interview, there you go, something to study up on, how to take responsibility for your successes and failures.

I never have posted anything before, just take in all the info, but I can't stand reading all the whining. Not a personal attack, just telling it the way it is.

P.S. I haven't got a call yet either, so I guess I'll keep busting my ass to get one.
