"...we do not have opportunities available that match you experience and skills."

It's about the hours.

Hey guys,

I put my times in, 1500/400, and it let me finish. Although I got an email later that said I didn't have the qualifications they were looking for?

Couldn't figure out what it was? Maybe that I don't have my degree finished yet?

Anyone might know what gives?

Yea the company doing the interview along with the web site...is not that great...You do not need a degree I think the process is "weeding out " some good canidates!!!

 

[jrav8tor]

rumor,

I figured that's what it was. Hopefully it was just a glitch. Anyways I am finishing my degree online and will finish in a year or so.

I am going to try and submit it again to see what happens.

Anyone know of any other way of submitting resume, or is this the only option? Any phone numbers, fax #???

No wiggle room, the computer automatically sends a "Thanks but no Thanks" card if you come in below the mins. Turbine time or no turbine time.

 

[vmc-hound]

a Buddy pilot friend told me for internal canidate is 500/100

What I've been told...

From what I've been told by the personnel department is that the "weeding" out system on the internet application is FAR FAR FAR from high tech. It doesn't take into account your degree's, since your not required to have one, ALL it takes into account is if you have 1500/500, and WHEN YOU APPLY. If someone who barely has the minimums applies the day before you, and you have 10000/9000, you will not bump him outta the system, and if that means he was applicant 2500 and you were 2501, and at the time, it was only taking the first 2500, you will get the "letter". And just a little information for everyone else waiting to here, they will begin calling for the next round of interview on March 1st. Any other basic(read easy) questions, pm me, I'll see if I can help. Aviationinterviews is right on these days.

Really? Our IOE guys will be pleased I also heard they would be a few short for some classes at the end of FEB and might put a few new hires in? Anyone hear anything about that?

 

[deadstick]

What the heck?!?

If Sam Fisher is right, those of us who applied back in Dec and got the "Thanks, but no thanks" card are hosed. According to the Express web, we cannot reapply until the end of March.

"ReApplication Policy
Candidates may re-apply after 3 months. "

There will be three new hires in the recall class that starts in two days (feb 16th).

The next class and subsequent classes after that will be pure new hires.

NO MORE PILOTS FROM XJT ON FURLOUGH AFTER MONDAY!!!!!

Re: Re: Oh Boy

Honestly, why would an airline choose a 3000 hr CFI who has only flown Cessna's over someone who has around 500 hrs and has flown turbine powered aircraft as PIC and has extensive training in airline procedures and systems?

Total time without experience and knowledge is meaningless.

Because a 3000 hour pilot has the basics down cold. A 500 hour pilot can do anything from ROTE memorization but not have the basics. And the Basics are what you need to rely on when the fit his the shan.

Not to mention that most pilots applying these days have turbine experience in an actual "flying the line" environment.
