I've had apps out since 2012 (I was an FO for 7 years from '07-'14 not by choice), and have updated at LEAST once a month. I have seven internal recs at Delta and United, six internal recs at AA, three internals at UPS, and two at FedEx. So far I have attended two job fairs (FAPA and WAI 2016). Despite thousands of guys getting hired the last two years, the only thing I have received are TWO "fix it" emails from Delta. The first one didn't bother me, but the second one ****ed me off big time. I'm 34 years old and I'm watching 26-28 year old first officers at my regional airline go straight to the legacy carriers. I'm frustrated to the point of changing careers. Thoughts?
