My advice to everyone is keep applying and take every chance you get to meet them face to face. It helps.
Good luck!
This advice is spot on. I applied for 3 years and showed up at a Major Job fair every year and even an airshow where Blue had a job fair component. My quals at time of interview were:
- "Large" Part 121 Regional
- ~4700 TT
- ~1300 PIC (0TPIC)
- AS Aviation Degree
- 5 Internals
- A Few B6 Job Fair Reps that swore if they saw me at one more job fair
YMMV, I've had opportunities with HAL & Atlas but B6 is really where I wanted to be for the basing opportunities and it worked out perfectly. I also echo the advice to take every opportunity to network with Blue and apply every window and update regularly.
