I applied a couple months ago and got a thanks but no thanks within like the hour. I applied again earlier this week, no response yet but at least it’s not the super quick no like last time.
I actually have a rather odd case. I was with Mesa, got through the CRJ training, but right before IOE, some serious contract violations were discovered and I got out before I took the bonus and got locked in for 2 years. So I have an ATP and all, but just no real 121 time. So I’m sure I’m at the bottom of the barrel for applicants.
