over 3000 hrs no call from regional

getting out to

ya i've thought about getting out of aviation to. just to much bull but I thought with everyone hiring so many people i might as well give it a shot. an the faa investigation was for bma not me something about false records. also when they said no recall it was by email not even a call. the person who walked my resume into peidmont is a pilot/management and they still have not call. you would think if he walked it in I would get a call the next day but no.

WHY would you want to go to a regional?

 

[rob702]

i had an interview with linear air last month but they said no thanks. they fly caravans and getting some of those eclipse jets. it was to fly right seat, yes right seat of the caravan. and i even have alot of customer service experience which i thought a 135 operator would like. i guess it might be I'm just not flying enough right now about 30 hours in last 6 months since i have to pay for it and all twin time. I've already been through 121 training so i can do it.

maybe you should check your spelling of piedmont

 

[av8orboy]

I have'nt gotten a call?

So what's the problem? Sounds like you lucked out.

 

[Foxcow]

how much multi and instrument time do you have?

 

[Wiggums]

No regional job at 3000 hours is the aviation equivalent of being a forty year old virgin. Except that bottom feeder regionals put out more then drunk fugly girls.

Don't fly a Dash at PDT if you can instead fly an E170 over at Republic/Shuttle America. I am hearing pilots are offering to split the $500 referral hiring bonus with people who volunteer to apply at Republic/SA. Say goodbye to 1960s technology and hello to 2000s technology. Also, you might want to attend some of those Air Inc. career fairs - meet with recruiters on the spot. Whatever you do, avoid Mesa and GO JETS.

You can always take my spot flying the E145. I can't wait to get out of this business. Don't think the grass is any greener on the regional side - it is puke brown if you ask me.

That might be the biggest dumba$$ posting I've seen in a long time. Did your mom have any kids that lived? I'll give you half a point for having the Mesa / GJ thing right. The only 60's technology we use at PDT is the management.

You want to work at Piedmont? Head down to CLT. Go to the training center. Find the director of training, hand him your resume (minus the FAA crap), and tell him to put your a$$ in class. I think it'll work. Seriously.....

 

[jebmei]

if you attend a career fair at skywest you should get an interview within a week.

 

[MINIME]

If the investigation wasn't on you personally, I wouldn't even mention it on your resume. If asked at the interview, you could then clarify the situation or perhaps you can come forward and explain it.

With that much time you should be looking at Republic, Skywest, XJT and Eagle. All these airlines are respectable in my book and should give you a chance. Eagle is a little desperate for pilots right now. I suggest you give them a hard look.

And as others have mentioned before, stay away from Gojet and Mesa. Gojet is an alter-ego airline and Mesa really needs the demand to go the pilots' way so that they can accomplish a better contract. Nothing against the Mesa pilots, Gojet......well that's another story.

Trans States Airlines is looking for people....nice lady running recruiting too. I think our pay and work rules are better than Mesa. Plus all we have is the EMB145. Not too difficult to learn or fly if you study hard.

 

[vectorflyer]

I know how you feel. I had close to your hours with barely a phone call from anyone before I secured an FO position. I'd have to agree with the other guys that the airlines think your overqualified. They'd rather hire a 1000 TT 100 ME guy with 50 hrs 0-50 hours of experience as a commercial pilot. Messed up? Yea. All I can say is be persistant as hell.

 

[airplane wizard]

Maybe they just figure you won't stick around long with that high of time. How did you build all that time without instructing anyway?

 

[Douglas H]

A former 50 year old coworker with 6000TT and part 135 background recently was hired by Piedmont for the Dash 8.

Another former coworker was hired with similar times at ExpressJet just last month.

I think there is something else about your background that is being screened by HR. I would call and ask your inside contact to follow up on your resume.

 

[Tarzan]

True, If you can fly a ILS to mins PM me!! We get cash now for refering people!!

Hmmm, with or without a flight director? Because not having a FD sucks. That's how all the kids get through nowadays.

Really? Everytime I turn off the FD on approach those old crusty captains will go "What are you doing?" :erm:

Now THAT'S funny!

Up until a couple years use of the FD to go below RVR 4000 was mandatory by the Op Specs C-57 I believe. If you are a professional pilots to not use everything available to you is inexcusable. I find a lot of our New Hire GA pilots look at the use of the FD as a sign of a weak pilot. It is something doctors use, but not real pilots. BTW guess what you will not pass a Line Check with demonstrating full understanding and use of the FD.

 

[bustinmins]

Networking is the key. I think I'd have my resume evaluated if I were you. It may be hurting you more than you know. www.emeraldcoastinterviewconsulting.com should be able to help you.
