After submitting my resume a few weeks ago directly to the recruiter, said recruiter told me they would call me back in the next couple of days. Didn't happen. Two weeks later I got the call back and did a phone interview and am set up for a Skype interview next week. I was told I would receive an email with some paperwork to fill out and a link to a pre-interview test that day or the next. Well its been a week and I still don't have anything of the sort. I'm very grateful for the opportunity either way. My end goal is a Legacy, and I'm very well aware of the "flow" and "DGI" programs at the WO regionals. If I am hired and if I accept, I would most likely be commuting from DFW to wherever I am assigned out of training. I know QOL is supposed to be great if you live in Florida, but I have no intentions of moving to Florida (my wife is a teacher/teacher pay in Florida SUCKS.) I'll have about a year of instructing to do before I have the ATP mins and go to training. Thoughts?
