over 3000 hrs no call from regional

[rob702]

I have over 3000 hours have gone through 121 training at boston maine airways.was furloughed at end of training (faa investigation) waited months just to be told sorry no recall.Have flown 135 for seasonal operator was vfr but did ifr checkride flew cherokee 6 and seneca. have atp written and am multi current and proficent, but the catch is I'm in a non aviation job right now to pay bills so I can look for flying job. And have not gotten a call from any regional i sent a resume to. ASA, Pinnicle, pedimont(had resume walked in) Comair. So I'm wondering why with all the shortages I read about, why I have'nt gotten a call?

Try Mesaba. Great time to get on as we are gonig to be hiring 500 pilots over the next couple years. Where do you live and want to be based? Mesaba will for sure give you a good look.

Good luck

You may want to have someone proofread your resume.

 

[landlover]

barnyard, i am not partial to caravans. just curious why such distaste for the airplane?

You must not have your contact info on your resume if Piedmont didn't call you within 3 minutes of receiving it.

 

[bizicmo]

Not that I recommend it but commutair would hire you. I think we have a new hire class of 3 starting in the next two weeks. Because they got so few they are shooting for 20 next bid.

 

[Way2Broke]

Your over qualified

 

[rob702]

all contact info is there

no all contact info is on there. doug (flight safety manager/f.o. upgrading to ca) went down to h.r. and gave it to them almost 3 weeks age and nothing. I even got hold of some training materials for the dash and can draw out the whole electrical system besides limitations i have meorized.

Mesa will put in class on Wednesday. Want in? PM me! Everything on here that you see about Mesa is true. It sucks but if you are of the any port in a storm mentality let me know along with a contact #.

 

[pilotyip]

go to a job fair, free one in Miami on 4-21

 

[Flyin2low]

I agree. You're over qualified for a regional FO position. You should be a street captain at the least. Either that OR you're blacklisted from the industry.

 

[flyboyike]

Your over qualified

I agree, he is.

 

[rob702]

not blacklisted

I'm not black listed i've never done anything wrong and am not over qualified i have only 230 multi most flying was done single engine to build time. the only thing i can think of is i'm not in a flying job. so they would rather hire some 500 hour instructor sitting in the right seat. I never instructed.

 

[Captain Overs]

I don't think you're over qualified. What may be keeping you from getting a call is your flight time in the last 6 months. If you haven't flown much that may be a factor.

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

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.

Who's flying 1960's technology!!! lol

...was furloughed at end of training (faa investigation)

Care to expand on this "faa investigation" part?

 

[dictatortot]

While it's no Go Jet, B.M. Airways doesn't exactly have the best reputation in the industry. Maybe it has something to do with that.

 

[Flywrite]

When you write "...(FAA Investigation)" in your original post those of us familiar with B-M Airways probably either know or assume the investigation was of Boston-Maine. BUT...if you list FAA Investigation on a resume or cover letter as the reason for your furlough, then a resume screener or recruiter may think the investigation was of you personally and pass on calling you.

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.

 

[JettBoii]

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.

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.
