What's competitive mins for CAL?

[whatitdoing?]

It's all about recs. But they have to walk your stuff in. I had 11 internal, but none could walk my stuff in because they were helping others. That's the hardest part. Best of luck....it's a good place to be.

Is it true that for the internal rec to be any good then the recommender has to be there a year or more?

Doesn't matter how long they've been there. Just make sure they haven't had any issues like sick leave, training, etc.

I have 4 more months to go to be off of probation at CAL- went into Chief pilots office a week ago in IAH to recommend someone- He said that they would take my referral but they really do not want pilots recommending other pilots until you are off of probation. They used to allow it but they are getting away from it now.

Maybe if you are golfing buddies with him then it would be a different story.

Same info coming from the school house now.

will a rec letter from a retired scab help or hurt?

Thanks for the info. I commute out of DFW and our passes are about to take a dump! Itching to bail out QUICK!!

Got bout 8000 TT, 2500 PIC (800 Turb 121 PIC), 2000 hrs jet.

Guess I'll send it in and see what (if anything).

Thanks again.

No, it's not required... I know...But it sure helps..

 

[Jonny Sacko]

I think you should check on that. competitive says "YES", minimums say "Highly Recommended"

I bet there's a pretty large pile of competitive pilots WITH a degree.

 

[Scrapdog]

No, it's not required... I know...But it sure helps..

Excuse me, let me re-iterate. A degree is not required to fill out the app...a degree is 99.9 % required to get the job (at any major that is - not just CAL). And that's exactly the way it should be.

 

[cpierse]

.... And that's exactly the way it should be.

I agree 100%, but I'm standing by for the sh!tstorm of wanking from the "my daddy couldn't afford to pay my way... blah blah blah" crowd.

Whatever... A degree shows that you can complete something meaningful, and it shows that you at least spent some time with people who are intelligent and educated. Through study or osmosis, maybe something rubbed off.
