Hiring
Legendskid, BC hired 4 last year for UPT in C-21/C-27. Possible board sometime this summer. Keep your eyes open on Wantscheck.com, Baseops.net, and Goang.com. We don't own the official GOANG site so it is really hard to keep it updated and correct. We prefer the new guys to live close to the unit because it is alot easier for them to make money and show up. You will probably be with 3-4 airlines in your career vice the same unit for 20 years. Where do you really think it will be easier to live when you get furloughed?
Now listen up all you wannabe's-if you think you are just going to get into the guard with the attitude that you are doing it because you aren't good enough or economically savvy enough to get a gig somewhere else, think again. When I see crap like legendskid is posting in your resume, and I do see alot of it, don't be surprised when you don't get an interview. Why do you think we hire so many prior service members and people from within the unit? Because they have already sacrificed something and have something to show us. I get at least a hundred resumes for every board. Just graduating college with a flying degree doesn't mean jack to us on the board. People like that are a dime a dozen. College is easy, life is hard. The sooner applicants realize this, the better off they will be. I am not saying this to be a tool, but I hope this sheds some light on a hiring board's perspective. BTW-I know one guy who got an interview because he had an interesting run in with the law and was very up front about it. That's technique only and I don't recommend it for most people.
