Default Resume and Hiring tips

Trying to help the people losing their jobs after many years.

Just thinking but...

1. Flight records (logbook) If it is not up to speed you have to get your stuff out of admin quick because where would you get it from after they turn out the lights?

2. References. The Chief Pilots phone numbers (office) will go away too. Think about what/who to use then.

3. Interview sims. I flew as much autopilot off as the FSM and RVSM would allow me to prep any interview sims. I'm glad I did because the interview is a good place to do well. Having 18 years flying and not being able to fly the sim manually would not look good. I had no idea how much my skills had faded until I flew A/P off intentionally.

There are many other tips that people have and they mean well. Many of you have had the rug pulled out from under you and need to prepare quick.

Hopefully the Union has a lot more info out to help with the transition. If not ???
