Hired at Comair with 50 Multi!

[shroomwell]

I don't think anybody questioned her flying skills. I think the orginal poster meant that she received an interview at those low times, when he can't get one with twice the experience. For all I know she could have come from a bridge program, aren't there plenty of guys who get hired with those qualifications as well.

Hey, I even called her up and the first thing she said to me was "Your Furloughed pilots are NOT welcome here---unless they get 200 multi too and then resign their numbers!!!!! Those are the rules!!!"

Bye Bye--General Lee

Am I missing something here, but shouldn't every Delta pilot have 200 multi already?

Fair enough, I must have misread that into the original post.

Perhaps she knows the right person? These days, it isn't what you know, but who you know, that really matters.

I know one good looking female pilot who is on her third instructing job, because she doesn't know how to network and meet people. I know a number of male pilots who have the same problem.

I read posts from people complaining about not getting any replies, and I wonder what they are doing to make contacts. Sending out mass resumes can work, but it might be more useful to simply get to know the right people.

Fly Safe!

Not meant to start a flame war...but we live in a man's world. I wouldn't trade being a male in this profession to be a female in it, and I doubt any of you would. I see only a handful of women at my airline, and any woman who attempts a career in this industry has far greater battles to fight than I ever did to get here.

Great post. I had to quote that. I could not have said it any better even if I wanted to. I have only had to fly with a few female pilots and thankfully it was uneventful. There surely is a "comfortable" factor missing when it is their leg to fly.

>> It is amazing though the extremes and things they will do to get to the interview.

What? Are you serious?

What? Are you serious?

It has just been my personal experience(s) and a few that I have spoken to. From this thread apparently a few on this board also share those same beliefs.

Rythm3,

Yes. I was joking.

Come on guys! Lets fall back on that old standby that has worked and entertained us for years to explain this situation


"What do you expect to happen when United is not hiring"


Sorry, could not resist

Dude looks like a lady

You can always have a sex change if you want.

Funny you mention it, I know of one flight instructor who did exactly that.

Shim, Shim!!

When SHE and her 36C's finally reached 200 multi SHE was given a class date and started the next month.


this trend of hiring women simply for walking through the door, regardless of how they stack up to others as pilots is out of hand.

Sounds to me like she stacked just fine.

 

[climbhappy]

crying foul!!!

gender like race, and unfortunately now sexual orientaion is the basis for way too much dialog on the realities of modern day hiring practices. I know a guy who changed his foreign name to smith and the phone stated ringing...

there are exceptions to every rule. In flying for a living , There are no rules, only initiative.


You do what you can, get what you get, and go on or get out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rightrudder]

I highly doubt that the original poster's story is true. This smells like flame bait.

 

[Fly BI]

Time for a change?

BaronFR8Dog,

If your theory is fact, just start taking estrogen supplements and lop it off. How could anyone say no to a post-op tranny??

 

[bailout]

Apparently they have an huge stack of 36C resumes on file now, so they have raised the "competitve minimums" to 38D.

Actually, it smells like something that rhymes with moontang.
