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.

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.

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?

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.

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:

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.

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.
