Thank you. I have my application current in airlineapps so should be good with UAL and DAL. I interviewed with SWA 2 years ago, but was turned down. (I'm typed in the 737 with around 1500 hours in it) I regret that I wasn't better prepared for that interview, but that Oakland commute would be getting a little bit old by now. ;-)

Part of the issue with waiting for other airlines to call or using one as a stepping stone is that it is unfair to my family. My wife has been through a lot with this profession. We met in 1998 when I was laid off from AirTran. So she was with me when I was a commuter pilot, got hired by a major, got furloughed by a major, got hired by a commuter, got furloughed by a commuter, got hired by another commuter, quit to go to corporate, moved to the middle of nowhere...

Now we have a 7 year old boy and she is being very supportive. She says that if I'm not happy where I am (and don't get me wrong, it's a good job - but i'm a bit of a square peg in a round hole here) then she would support another move. But she wants to make sure that we don't move every few years and I can understand her trepidation. She learned very quickly that aviation is an unforgiving profession.

I'm 99% sure that I am going to take the position IF it is offered. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something that I was forgetting or not considering.

As far as times, a little over 10,000 TT, 1500 PIC turbine, training Captain (which means less than nothing at a part 91 operator), FAA safety team representative, four year degree... that's about it.

Thanks again everyone.
