seriously why cant i get a call back

[rightrudder]

thanks for all the good replys
its good to see im not the only one out there frustrated
it sucks seeing all the guys you are working with getting calls

and crxpilot i really dont need dumb replys about spelling wow really care about a typo maybe you should go into publishing and before ya say anything yes i spell checked my resume

Your spelling and grammar, if incorrect, reflect poorly upon you. The HR person who reviews your resume and cover letter may figure if you are so sloppy that you won't make the effort to put together a well-written resume with correct spelling, that you may approach your job the same way.

It was not off base for the other poster to make the remark as your posts here are poorly written. You were asking why you have received no replies, and he gave you a possible reason.

Did you use any periods or capitalization in your cover letter? Spell check may not have caught that.

I doubt he's putting the same level of scrutiny to flightinfo as he would on a resume, relax guys.

If it's any consolation, I had 2500 hrs, 800 twin, 600 turboprop, the ATP, and applied everywhere except Mesa back in February. The only one who called me to date was XJT.

I agree with the sentiment about future furoughs in relation to the airlines hiring. I have talked with AWAC recruiting a couple of times over the past months and they are drooling over the chance to pick up old Indy, Mesaba, and Comair guys. Training is cheaper and they have a better pass rate. I think that job opprotunities for flight instructors may be few and far between once these guys start hitting the job market. By the way I agree with persistence. in 2001 I graduated from college and released 39 resumes. I got 8 call backs, 3 interviews and 2 job offers. When I got hired at AWAC it was a lot harder. I sent a resume every month and occationaly called the office to talk with the HR lady till I got my interview. I think they just wanted me to stop calling. Whatever I got the job.

Just my opinions

i know first of all i need patients, and my hours are not much to brag over.

1050 total
120 multi

i have sent resumes out to ASA, PSA and Airwis.
everyone i see with comparable hours is getting the call is there something im missing. Or do i need to be more patient.

other expierineces on top of flight time is 9 years military(non aviation) is that a negative or positive.

any good advice would be appriciated

1050 total. If 50 hours is a big deal to you maybe you should reconsider how ready you are to fly an airplane with 70 people in the back.

I have about the same amount of time as you 100 of that time multi jet. I wouldn't expect to get hired by a regional. Sure they are hiring and buying new planes. Mostly the regionals are building a pool of pilots so they can meet the needs of the airline whenever they need to. They are not trying to meet your needs.

A CFI at a school I worked for was "hired" after an interview but then he had to wait about 6 months to get into groundschool. He opened his mouth at work about the opportunity and lost out on a lot of PIC instructing time.

Maybe you went to the same "academy" I did and feel that your Gods gift to avation. Maybe your cool. I dont know. Why not strive for the 135 mins and work for a cargo op. Personally I'm not going to fly for a regional considering it would be career suicide.

just keep being PERSISTENT! Anyone can fax a resume but keep updating it and you will get there.

Send in a resume to Republic Airways Holdings (Chautauqua, Shuttle, Republic Airline) and xjet network out besides those 3

seriously why cant i get a call back?

Did you put, "No phone calls please!" on your resume?

Geez, I remember when I couldn't get Great Lakes (or any other airline) to call me with 1400tt and 300 multi. Long time ago though.

You think that's bad? Nahh, I got ya beat. Look way, waay back to the early 90's... nobody was hiring. I had 4500tt, 2500 multi (C310 freight dog)... and zero responses to my dozens of resumes sent out. When I finally made it to the "big time", nope, no shiny RJ for me; just a Beech 1900. The Brasilias, SF-340s and ATRs were senior pilot heavy metal... no RJs in the fleet yet, the CRJ had just entered production. Man, how things change...

Seriously, when you guys with 1000tt and a few dozen multi hours start whining about not getting called up for that coveted RJ seat, I just have to laugh... you really don't have a clue as to how much worse it could be or has been. Jeez, now I'm starting to sound like a crusty old fart... where's my Metamucil?

I can remember a time when we had guys with ATP's and twin turbine time throwing bags on our ramp hoping for a C-172 spot. (Yeah, it led to a bigger single and then a twin) Immediately after 9/11 we got resumes from 767 pilots looking for something, ANYTHING to fly following their furlough. As someone else suggested, HR departments are probably looking toward the furloughed 121 guys right now, so the 135 route is probably your best option if you're not getting calls from the 121 outfits. Of course, you're not being TOO persistant, are ya? If you're faxing stuff daily and/or making phone calls to the point of being ANNOYING, nobody's gonna hire you, either.

OK Mr. 650

 

[FlyingToIST]

How long ago did you get that kind of response?

My husband sent out about the same amount and has had three responses, only two interviews at small regional airlines, and NO offers. 3100TT, 500Multi, ATP. 44 years old, non-US citizen with permanent visa.

There are unwritten, unpublished rules. A lot of people are not hiring permanent residents because they have to go through the TSA process. they don't publish it, because it would be illegal for them to do so; but it's an unwritten rule..

Wasting this valuable resource????

Get a freakin' life, man. Are you this melodramatic in interviews? I think I've figured your problem out...

On the other hand, his relentless lecturing about how to use this board suggests that he might be a troll.

Am I missing something? What "happens" at 1100 hours?
