Desperate times call for desperate measures. Keep up the good BBQ work (It's a "Corporate" forum thing).

Eric is simply to busy and resumes to numerous. If your resume qualifies, Eric will call you. Pestering and hounding him will not get you an interview. Once your recommendation is in along with the name of the recommending line pilot, be patient. Remember, if you do noy have a line pilot willing to recommend you, do not expect a call.

Walk in resumes are not welcome, not even from the line pilots.

For those that are waiting the call, FO is hiring. A new class began this week.

Any idea which aircraft newhires are being placed on? Beechjet, Citationjet, etc.?

 

[hawkercpt]

Mostly King Air, Beechjet, and CJ. Although a few have gotten into the Hawker or Citation 3.

quick question....is erik gerhard the chief pliot? i don't know anyone at FO, but i'd like to send in a resume and keep my fingers crossed that i could get a call. just want to know who to address the cover letter to. looking for the name, with correct spelling and their title....thanks

Eric is not the Chief Pilot. He is the pilot recruiter. And whatever you do, do not fax him or send him a resume. It will be deposited into File 13 once it arrives.

The only way Eric will look at a resume anymore is if it's sent through the online application process at flightoptions.com, no exceptions. It's my understanding he got rid of all the paper resumes on his desk and started from scratch with the online applications. If you had a paper resume with him, it's gone. Re-submit it again online. Good luck.

hey thanks, i wasn't going to mail in my stuff. the online application has a space for the resume and cover letter.
i just wanted to know if i had the spelling and title correct.
Erik or Eric Gerhard
Pilot Recruiter
????? thanks again

Eric.

Human Resources, Pilot Recruitment, Jack of All Trades, you pick it. I don't know his exact title, he could have one of several. If you send anything, it'll be passed along to him.

Hail Eric

Eric is so great let's sing him a hymn, shall we.
mmmm, Him, him f&&K him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dep676]

Somebody not get a call or get hired?????????????????????

 

[choppengruven]

I'd be sour too if I had 8000 hours and was still an Fo. Dohhh did I say that?

 

[witchdoctor]

Sour

Chop, I am certainly not sour for being an FO w/8000k, infact I have more jet PIC time than your total time. And we all make our choices on where we fly don't we?
Anyway back to Eric, I just think it is funny how guys on this board almost idolize these yahoos that are in charge of hiring and so forth.
As for the the other dude that replied, no I have not applied to FO nor do I intend to, though I am sure that it is a fine position to have. Best of luck to all who wish to be there.

I don't think anyone here idolizes Eric. They were just telling the guys that think he's some kind of idiot that they are wrong. If you could meet the guy he is a super nice guy. So for someone to say that he is an idiot without meeting him is either bitter that they didn't get hired or hasn't gotten a call. It took me two years to get the call and get hired. I never once thought any bad things about the guy.

 

[hawkercpt]

I am a pilot here. Have met him. Still think he's an idiot! He's so biased and up the company's ass it's ridiculous! Kenn is gone and he is still a butt kisser!!!
Keep trying guys.
If you have sent a resume in, do it again with the online application. He has **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** canned ALL of the paper resumes on his desk. Well that is the latest word anyway.

Good luck to all!
