I'm left wondering if they simply aren't interested or if I've slipped through the cracks one way or another and just need to get noticed.
Obviously, I'm not owed anything by ABX but I'm pretty sure I fall into the 'qualified' category (maybe I am light on 121/jet time for their tastes- my 76 gig is my first 121 gig and I started last Sep) and they apparently need a lot of people so I would be curious to know why they aren't interested in me- if for no other reason than learning what I need to improve on to get noticed. .....snipped....
ABX is no different than most other carriers, and I understand your frustrations. I think that in most cases ones CV does not even get a read until there is a need.
The new hires at ABX (at least the ones that I am aware of) are all highly experienced, with decades in the biz and 10-20 years wide body command time in many cases. ABX will be my last uniform for many reasons, and I hope that it will be a grand finale.
