Hey I am 0 for 3 at interviews w/ CX, SWA and UPS in 3 years. It is a bitter pill to swallow but I am going to get up dust myself off and improve myself to prove to these companies I am worth their time. Some things come easy to people but for people such as myself it takes a whole lot more moxy and effort. Good luck to you and me, we'll need it.

Keep your head up. Lots of jobs at regionals to be had.... pick a good one, suck up the first year pay, and enjoy the ride. Almost all regionals are now linked to the ATP academy because they are short on qualified people....Jobs are becoming more plentiful and the Legacy carriers are hiring again....

It IS turning around. Get out there and find what suits you. If its not worth a few years of poor pay and schedules to enjoy what you love, then you are better off doing something else. I'll take my "crappy" pay and reserve schedule any day over an office job.... To each their own.

If you want a regional job, it sounds like you have the time for it....Put out your stuff and calls will come. Be careful what you wish for because you just may get it....When it rains it pours....

Good luck.

U-I,
At least the "Kool -Aid" avatar is appropriate. Spending some quality time with ole Kit are ya?

ps: Im not even gonna touch your comments about first year pay and the ATP academy "zero to hero" programs. You are right about one thing...Be careful what you wish for.............

You can always do 20 as a cop, instruct on the side, retire with a pension and then fly when and how much you want. I've have a couple of friends who have done that.

 

[catfish flier]

or better yet, become a cop and then fly for them......

 

[Amish RakeFight]

You should know by now this business is tough. As one postersaid, judging by your current flying you should be able to land a job at one of the many regionals hiring right now. You probably have 3 times the amount of time an average new hire does.

KEEP APPLYING!


also, you might consider taking a short break from the world of aviation and discover a few new things. Clear your mind and take a long vacation. Enroll in a continuing ed course at the local school. Involve yourself in new hobbies.

Unless you're a real loser (hopefully not) you will eventually get that job. Maybe some interview resume coaching might help.

Bottom line, if you walk away you'll be back. They all come back.

 

[Amish RakeFight]

One more thing.

Try not to find yourself sitting at the bar next to Shoulda, Woulda and Coulda in 15 years.

 

[L.Skywalker]

Hey I am 0 for 3 at interviews w/ CX, SWA and UPS...

I got you beat: 0 for 6: PSA, AMF, Colgan, Skywest, and Pinnacle...twice!
Yeah, it sucks, and I'm not sure what to say...or even think anymore.
:bawling:

 

[crashpad]

Try Mesa, you'll get hired.
