By reading the gouges it seems that they interview 5-10 a day, three times a week, for at least two weeks out of the month. I have an interview on the 15th, and I was told I could pick either the 12th,13th, or 15th.
 
So let me get this straight...If I filled out the online app. (which I did about 3 weeks ago) I don't need to follow it up with a resume and cover letter, or should I...may hurt my chances since I just meet mins???
 
I would just wait it out. I was tempted to do the same thing, but they do call and ask you to fax in your resume. Then comes the phone interview, and hopefully the invite to an interview.
 
Do they have any requirments on recency of multi experience? I've been flying a 208 for the last 6 months and am no longer multi current.
 
Yes, I believe they do - just had the phone interview and was asked about my recency of multi-time

regards
 
They may be asking that just to see how current it is... their minimums say 60 hours in the last 6 months. It doesn't say single or multi-engine, but the only way to know for sure would be to ask or email someone from HR. I clearly stated that I didn't have 60 hours multi in the last 6 months, but they still invited me...so that can't be the minimum requirement. Anyone know for sure?
 
I don't think they have minimum multi required in the last 6 months, just the 100 multi PIC total. But they did ask me how much of my total multi was in last 6 months, which happened to be over 60 so I'm not sure. Anyone had the phone interview that didn't have 60 multi in last 6 months? It seems they are more happy with those applicants that have a full time flying job. I think they want to see that you have made some sort of career move previously to show them that you are dedicated to flying for a living.(i.e.-full time instructor or cargo pilot) Everyone who applies online BE PATIENT and wait for XJET to call you. They are interviewing by the masses, and you will get in if you apply online, and meet their mins. They will call you, and ask you to fax a resume to them, I would wait until you recieve this call before faxing a resume. I was called 3 weeks after online app, some others I know were not called until 5 weeks later, doesn't seem to be any consistency to system, just be patient.

Time

When i sent my on line resume to them i had the same time time that is in my profile. The main time missing was the 30 hours in the last 6 months for currency.

Untill, my landscaping business picks up a little more we will be staying on the ground fo now. But i do miss flying, there again when you start up your own business you don't have much time for any thing else.
 
Multi Currency a must

I just got off the phone with Dawn and she said I wouldn't be invited b/c I'm not multi-current. I haven't been in a twin for 14 months and she said that I had to go rent a multi and fly 10hrs in the next 3 mos then reapply. Even though I have 250 hrs multi (PIC) time, I'm still not qualified. I met all the other requirements though.

Just curious what are you flying now? I fly a Caravan so I am wondering if they will take current turbine time over current multi-time.

That sucks! They should post ALL of their minimums on the application form so pilots would know before they apply.

Actually, I looked at my logbook and found out I have a whole 13 hrs of multi within the last 12 months, but am not current. Dawn called AGAIN today and started asking all the questions again (as if she had never called) and I told her she already declined me yesterday. I told her I could be multi-current in 5 days and that I actually had some multi time within the last 12 months, and she still said no. She said I'd still have to get some multi time over the next 3 months before I can reapply (which is realistically 4-5 months by the time they call you back after you submit online).
 
Multi-PIC time?

This may just be a rumor, but I've heard that the 100 multi time has to be PIC. Is that true, or was that one of their old requirements? I can't find this minimum anywhere, and the website application asked how much total multi time you have, not PIC. Any thoughts??
 
I think I screwed up

I took some bad advise and applied before I had the 600 tt. I had like 577tt and got the "thanks but not thanks" email. they didn't say i couldn't apply when I had the time but I wrote down that ref. # and password but i can't find it, what the hell should I do ?

Thanks
 
Sounds similar to what I experienced after waiting the three months to re-apply. I called the toll free number to make sure that I wasn't missing something. The lady on the other end said I'd have to start a new record. See what I mean...sounds like that's what's happened with you.

I did the same thing back when the mins were 1000TT. Dawn told me to reapply when I had the TT and said that my file would not be kept and it would be like I was a brand new applicant. To make things even Sh*ttier, they dropped the mins to 600TT about 2 weeks after I got that call from Dawn. That woman must dislike me or something. It's not like I slept with her and didn't call her back...at least I don't think so. ;)

I also think the 100 multi time needs to be PIC. When I talked to dawn this last time, she said I needed to get some PIC multi by doing IFR refreshers or currency flights in peoples' planes (who owned their own twins). She said the biggest problem they have with peoples log books is logging of SIC when you legally can't do so (i.e. in a plane which doesn't require SIC).
 
Oh, and Dawn also said their minimums are not posted anywhere. That's why I didn't know you had to be multi current and have 10+ hrs in the last XX months.

A buddy of mine got an interview, flew to wherever, and they told him there that it had to be 100 muti PIC.

Has anyone gotten hired with 600 and 100 multi PIC?
