Yeah right that used to be me just wait Until I get the Alaska Mins, they will definitely want me, five letters recommendation local degree local address lots of volunteer time Multiple type ratings 12 years 121 experience more than exceed the mins. Ha ha no dice baby. After five years of AS only finally realized I was screwing myself over. Job fairs meetings with the chief pilot anything and everything I could do and think up and was told .(All while watching Horizon FO's with family members that work there get hired with minimum experience barely making the qualifications) Finally applied at the other majors one resume hired! Things have been going great sense. Don't make Alaska the only entrée on the menu.
Don't make me out to be the bitter guy That couldn't get an interview. After I first Hand learned that a Skywest kid son of a AS Employee got interviewed twice in eight months while stacks and stacks of us fully qualified but not genetically connected. Never even got an interview. I finally gave in. It is what it is and I have moved on.
