Absolutely!
Retiring 121 pilots who like to work and wish to take on new challenges (sounds like you already have the t-shirt, I didn’t ) show up on our seniority at all levels from UA, AA, SWA, Emirates, not sure about DAL. Ex Regional pilots also.
The app window is closed right now so no apps are being accepted at this point. XO is aggressively looking for more ax’s to acquire over the next 16 months.
If they are successful I suspect the app window will open back up.
Internal reps are important but not necessary to get the interview or to be hired but in a company this size versus my previous employer, SWA, the computer algorithms pulled names out to the proverbial hat for interviews.
Start looking now for possible connections. You probably have a network and don’t need any advice on how to make those connections..I’ve posted suggestions if you care to read my drivel.
Good luck and congrats on a successful career.
