Also since I'm flying part 121 now, they felt that I would run to the airlines in the next pilot shortage. So... I didn't get the job, even though I have nearly 3000 hours in type and really wanted that position.
Man this stinks!
I hear ya. I went through similar issues when I left the airlines. Some flight departments just dont want to risk hiring an airline guy. Sounds like you have the right idea with the dumbed down resume version. Just show the capacity you worked in but leave out the department manager reference and hopefully you can get in for an interview and show them that your not out to take over the world -- you just want a job.
I still wouldnt shun the big jet stuff though. There are quite a few jobs in those abroad if you have any interest in doing that kind of thing. I believe ACASS out of Montreal deals with the heavy corporate stuff on occasion.
