Looks like the end of F/Es under age 60...and with the dying age 65 legislation looks like the training center will be very busy here...

I believe to update your app, you need to go to "my inquiries" once you sign in. That will lead to the whole application previously filled out.

80for80,

I heard NASA is hiring street Captains on the shuttle. With all your skills and experience, why would you ever want to sit in the back of a "jurasic jet" ? I guess a year in the back to make over 100,000 in the future isn't worth it...to you. Stay at the commuters where your "King" !!!!

B757/767, B737, BE400, Mu300, CE500, LRJET, DA-50. 1000+ hours in B-727, 1500+ in B757, 600 in B737, 700 in B717, rest was in business jets.
Turbojet FE certificate, but no FE experience.

eight years of major airline experience, along with 8 years of freight and corporate aviation. instruction prior to that, started flying in 1987.

Hope this helps some. Good luck

Pending the results of the background check and drug tests, I hope to be in class on December 14. Dream come true to say the least.

Take care,

I'd be interested but I wouldn't want to take the chance on being stuck on the panel on a jurassic jet. Now if they could hire me into the right seat of a widebody (especially he 747-400 ) that would be cool. Plus I'm not too keen on wearing a brown uniform. I think I'll continue to enjoy my seniority on the RJ or maybe wait till United starts hiring again.

Don't worry, you wouldn't be senior enough. All 747 FE are over 60. 135 out of 155 (give or take) on the DC8 are over 60. Don't know about the 727, but there have been some classes for them lately. New hires have been going to every right seat in the fleet.

I used to walk by that ad in DFW a lot on the way to the crew room. Glad I don't anymore.
