Seriously 2200 hrs. I give up!! Nothing against you but that's disheartening.

BSlew7523, Congrats brotha! How long was it between the two "fix-it email's" and the email for an interview. I am curious because I received my fix it email's last monday and I fixed what needed fixing and sent back corrections 4 days later. Im trying to gauge how long its taking these days!?

I never received any "fix it" e-mails. Since I applied 12 months ago, the e-mail yesterday was the first communication I had. Hope this helps.

I'm sure a guy with 2500 total hours has quite a bit more to his app than just the hours. You have to look at the whole picture. Check as many boxes as you can on the app and you are likely to get the call. Good luck and don't look at just anyone's hours as a qualifier.

I would hope that with the stagnant hiring in the last 10 yrs that they would not disqualify someone for having too many hours. Its all about networking, timing and luck. I have been a 737 captain at a supp for 4 years now and I am being told that I have too many hours and that I am no longer trainable because of too much experience. I seriously doubt that. I would say it is because I am not a regional pilot from one of their contracts or military. Being at a no name supp is the biggest problem. No one knows who you are or what you do. Eventually the majors will run low on regional pilots and military guys and they will look at guys who fly the same equipment into the same airports yet for a low tier airline and ask the many of us waiting for a chance to interview. Fingers crossed.

fix it emails
I recently received 3 fix it emails (incomplete flight training & education and driving record and/or criminal report). Any recommendations on what to list as a GPA for something that did not merit a GPA such as part 61 pvt pilot training?
