XJT hiring mins

[flytheblue]

Anyone know how often they are interviewing a month?

 

[pkjohnsonm]

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.

 

[flytheblue]

Cool, Im going at the end of the month. Are you ready??

(Now how about those Mexican Jepp charts?!?)

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???

 

[flytheblue]

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.

 

[vmcdemo]

Yes, I believe they do - just had the phone interview and was asked about my recency of multi-time

regards

 

[flytheblue]

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?

 

[Justino]

Do they want in addition to the 60 hours a current flying job?

 

[pkjohnsonm]

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.

Thanks PK!

Good luck on the interview!

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.

I edited this cause I thought I was wrong. Sorry !
