Re: more thoughts

I'm hoping that higher total times like 3000/500 multi will get me where I want to go and make up for the lack of turbine/CRM experience. I'm flying 100 hrs a month part 135 and making 30k a year (not trying to brag but for checks thats not bad) so I can be a little bit selective if I choose to.

You can only be selective if you have a job offer at hand.

Good luck!

I applied to GL the 3rd of July, when they were advertising the 500TT mins. A lady that applied with 500 and 50 on the dot, got called in for an interview for the 9th, but I still don't know if she got in or not.
As for me, I still haven't heard anything. Pretty much gave up hope. Like some of the previous posts said, as long as it is 121 time, I'll live on food stamps... Heck I qualify now!!!

P/S: Don't know of many CFIng jobs in this area. There are lots of flying clubs around that you pay for a membership, but you gotta bring in your own students. You just can't be shy cause there are plenty of rich people who want to get licenses around the bay.

Did you apply through the website or you faxed them something?
I thought they had a $28 application fee.

Yes, GL does have a $28 app. fee. Not really a big deal, some of the other posts have indicated that Lakes has a hiring pool now and have filled up the September classes, they are unsure about October classes. I also applied in early July 700TT 150ME, I haven't heard anything either.

Good LUck

Finally!!!.....Someone is making sense with this topic. I agree with everything throttlejockey said. You MUST get a job in 121 NOW in order to have a chance in the future! In this current situation that the airlines find themselves in, You cannot wait ONE SECOND unless you never want to fly any really heavy iron. IMHO!!

Cheers!

Riddle momma,
Do you know anyone at GLA because that seems to be the way to get an interview. My wife knew a checkairman there and that's how she got her's. She's swimming in the pool now. Hopefully she'll be getting an october class date. I'm not sure what their future hiring plans are though. Good luck to ya.
