HELP me if someone can?

[Ligeirinho]

Hi I've been sending my resume for all regionals but noone never called me for an interview even before 9/11. My resume format is like all tips I got on internet, but I've been seeing a lot of people with less than 1/3 of my flight time getting sometimes up to 3 interviews at once. Is that true that some flight academies agrements give preference for their graduates? Would be worthy to sink a little bit more in debits to get some type rating on this academies? Please someone help a desperate pilot that is diving in his career because of a laid off!!!!

Ligeirihno,

No offense, but looking at your profile I can make an educated guess as to why you haven't received any calls. You are listed as a C-340 PIC and based on your profile I don't see any turbine experience.

OK, so you say, "all these young guys are getting hired without turbine experience". This is true, but look at your total time... 6,800 hours...

An airline reads this as you have been flying for many years and have never progressed your career beyond a piston twin. They feel there are two possible explainations for this: 1. No one wanted to give you the opportunity to advance based on past performance. 2. You got "comfortable" in your position and were unmotivated to advance yourself. Either way both are viewed as big negatives. With the exception of the last 2 1/2 years, there was a huge hiring boom in the late 90's, they will wonder why you didn't get past a C-340 position during that boom.


Again, I don't mean any offense by these comments, just trying to shed a little light on your situation.

Good luck to you.

It might also be that you use lanuage like "no one never called me"

Just a hunch.

Sounds like you need some new freinds. Most, if not all people hired recently got the job because of the "Good-old-boy" system. The airline business is like one big frat party. It doesn't mater who you are you're only getting in the door if you know somebody or you're a chick.
