I have close to 20 internal recommendations on file and I have attended countless job fairs in the past 4 years but I have not been able to get the interview.
I am getting a little desperate since I am not getting any younger and I keep hearing that United is looking for more youthful pilots as years pass by. I am currently employed at JetBlue but I am considering going back to the regionals in order to take advantage of the CPP.
For those that went through the CPP or other similar programs and landed the job with United, what are your experiences and would you recommend it?
Never put all your eggs in one basket. Apply to any airline you'd be willing to leave JB for and keep applying until you wouldn't make a move any longer.
Like looking for a new girlfriend when your truly single, it becomes the focus and it seems harder, once you have a girlfriend, many more seem unusually interested.
