We're looking for your stories about working for airlines

[SizzleChest]

For an upcoming USA TODAY story about airline hiring, we'd like to hear about your experiences with the airline industry.
Have you looked for a job with the major airlines since they restructured in the past few years? What prompted you to look for an airline job? If you applied or attended orientation, please tell us what's happened since. Or, if you overlooked airlines, tell us why. Did you find better offers elsewhere?
Please submit your stories in the comments field below, or by email to Barbara De Lollis.

This could get ugly folks.

Just lazy journalism. What ever happened to actively researching an article?

Search button on this board would probably answer all of her questions, and maybe even some she didn't have.

That would truely be lazy reporting.

A seach on this board would get a reporter nothing but a bunch of crap that represents the top 3% most disgruntaled airline employees... it would be like a reporter writing an article about global warming using al gore's website as their only reference.

How does *actively* seeking out members of a profession and asking them questions about their job constitute "lazy journalism"? Should they just google search the job and write about whatever they happen to find?

IT's not an Embry-Riddle online Master's thesis!

Posting on a web board is not "actively" doing anything. Journalism requires going out and turning over a few stones...you know, actually talking to someone. Trolling cyberspace for anonymous stories is like...well, is like taking anything on FI seriously.

Typical...

when an article comes out the press gts blasrted for getting wrong. When they go to source they get blasted for being lazy...

 

[mynameisjim]

Flight Info is no place for sources. Airports...bars...now thats a start.

 

[ArcticFlier]

Ummmmmmmmmm........................no thanks. Sounds like another USA Today airline bashing story a-comin'.

 

[Soverytired]

Actually, if you read the solicitation, it's for those working/seeking work at MAJOR airlines.

Nobody gives a friars-fart about your crummy little life at Mesa, Comair, ASA, Skywest, Mesaba, Pinnacle, Big Sky, Lynx, et al.

(Otherwise, I'd give her an earful about Mesa camping trips)

There I was.. flying the White Stone out of LGA when both engines flamed out. Of course the FO was no help to me since he had been drinking all day and the fa was on fire. So I was all alone when we hit the wake of the departing 76 and rolled inverted. I had to fly the dreaded no engine inverted ILS to 22. We survived but I can't get hire by a magor because I don't have tits.

Check this out....

Anyone who thinks USA Today practices journalism should check this out-http://www.usatoday.com/money/biztravel/2006-12-18-jet-pollution-usat_x.htm
These guys are clowns-they obviously made this garbage up. They claim that a jet contributes @1000 pounds CO2 per passenger (a good rule of thumb for figuring the gross airplane weight-not exhaust emissions. This is a moronic claim-super-exaggerated! No sources are given for these numbers, no scientific evidence to support the claim, just complete fabrication.

-Idiots!

T We survived but I can't get hire by a magor because I don't have tits.

Nice, real nice. You can't get hired at a major because your not a professional.

 

[DX Rick]

Wouldn't this fall under "Speaking to the media about company business"???

If so, maybe I should use this persons name at Mesa I don't care for.

Bull********************....he was right the first time. Now get back to the kitchen !

50% of the pilots leaving my company are women. Strange thing is they don't make up 50% of the seniority list.
