What's competitive to get an interview on Virginia Ave. these days?
I'm at ~5800TT, 850TPIC, 2740PIC... 3.3GPA/no skeletons in the closet/pt. 61 training...
and.... I've got nothing but crickets in the inbox...
Anyone else?
"Competitive" is a difficult word to define these days. You have to look at the whole picture, not just numbers.
School at which you received your degree. What type of job do you have now? (121/135/91K,etc) Any military (flying or other, both 'check the box') 'Extra stuff' at work (LCA/CP/Management/FAA examiner/checking authority) Internal recommendations?
Something to remember is that you are competing against probably 9000 'Qualified' regional folks, and who-knows-how-many 'Qualified' military folks.
What do you have on your app that makes you stand out against the field? Just doing the job and having numbers doesn't equate to an interview invite in today's pilot market.
That probably isn't the answer you were looking for, but as you'll find looking through all these threads, there is no magic, silver-bullet answer to your question.
