Rejected after Airnet phone interview - now what?

[ComputerGuy]

I had my phone interview with Airnet early this week, and got an email today that basically says they are not inviting me for an in-person interview. So my question is, what happens now? I've wanted to work for Airnet for quite a long time, and still want to work for them if that option is still available to me down the road. Is that not realistic at this point? If it is, how long should I wait before resubmitting my application? Is there anyone here who works for Airnet that had been turned down after the first phone interview and had persistence pay off? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Get another 150 hours and then reapply. Craig likes persistancy. It shows desire.
I don't know if there's a minimum time period before you can reapply!!

i don't know if i was turned-down exactly (i didn't hear back after my first phone interview), but i just re-submitted an application 3 months later. did a second phone interview, and ended up getting the job. working at airnet is still very much and option.

don't be too upset you didn't get it the first time around. hiring is slowing a LOT, hence craig is getting pickier. he is huge on persistance. i'd say keep building time and re-submit in 3-4 months. also, if you haven't already, shoot him an e-mail saying thanks and what your plans are.

out of curiousity, how do you feel the interview went?

Yeah definetly get some hours and reapply. As others have said write CW and thank him for the first phone interview and let him know that you don't believe they got a good impression of who you really are and you are still very interested in working for airnet.

I feel for you, getting turned down for a job always feels bad, but don't take it personal it happens to all of us at one time or another. All I can say is don't put your eggs in one basket, you can't sit around in hopes that Airnet will one day find it in there heart to give you a job, that's just a waste of time. There are so many other things you can do, just get out there and look. You might just find something better.

Try drinking, it makes you see things clearly.

Heh! Thanks, Hammer....

Anyway, without going into too much detail, I have a rather unique family situation which both limits my choices and requires that I do something and soon. I'm in the process of flying a block of multi time I purchased, which will bring my multi time up to a little over 100 hours, which should help. When I get there I plan to reapply to Airnet as well as apply to Colgan. Anyone know of other possible suggestions which involve the possibility of living in northern NJ and not having my work schedule consisting mostly of mult-day trips and layovers away from home? I can separate temporarily from my family, but due to my current situation relocating permanently away from the northern NJ area would create more problems than it solves.

Are you going to change your avatar now?

Go to work for RAM airfrieght and tell AirNet to RAM it up there A$$.

All the other 135 checkhaulers are dying on the vine for want of pilots, but I'm not sure any of them have runs out of northern NJ. Planemasters or Airnow, maybe?
