What I’ve learned from reading Flightinfo.com:
The majors probably won’t be hiring for another 5 years. If you are in your 20’s no problem, if you are, like me about to turn 40, so much for that dream. I’m sure someone will write back with an optimistic outlook, either way it’s too late for me.
When a company announces it is hiring, they are flooded with resumes.
Buying a type rating to get hired is PFT. I’m saying no to SWA.
FedEx…commuting to Memphis doesn’t float my boat, neither does Memphis, and neither does sitting sideways.
A corporate flight department won’t hire you unless you have a type rating. The best way to get hired by a corporation is to start as a contract pilot. How much does a G-V type rating cost? (Kidding).
Let the young guys do the regional jet thing. They need the jet time. I need more excitement and $$.
A lot of the good flying jobs are in the South and West. Don’t they fly up here in Yankee land?
Why do ROPES take a panel jobs when they can fly corporate? Must be for retirement purposes.
It’s depressing seeing 13,000 hour guys looking for jobs.
Beggars can’t be choosers.
