Do you have a BA or BS? From what I've heard that's essentially a requirement at the legacies. I don't think it should be, but it's apparently something that they want.
I do have a BS in Prof Aviation Flight Technology... All I heard in college back in '04-'06 is how PERFECTLY my/our timing was for this career. Then I continued to hear how PERFECT my timing was by all of the older mainline captains that would frequent my jumpseat during the 7 years I was stuck in the right seat. Something's not adding up.
I agree that there isn't a shortage at the majors whatsoever. The regionals are obviously feeling it now. Maybe in five more years, it will domino to the majors, but there will always be military guys for the majors to choose from, so then again maybe not.
