I'll try to make this short and sweet!

1. You aren't unhireable, but sometimes we have to eat some ******* to get where we want to be...........this career is just one stepping stone after another..........always has been and always will be.............today you are at the bottom, where we have all been.............5 years from now, you will be looking for a major if you play your cards right. Again, as previously posted.........forget the jet time and go where the upgrade is quickest to 1,000 hrs PIC turbine.........colgan maybe.

2. I know you are bummed and dissappointed. However, always be confident.........not arrogant........confident in these interviews..........no joke, I would spend money on self esteem boosting material before an RJ ripoff course...........nothing bad ever came from growing mentally.......ie: Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, or my favorite........Andy Andrews "7 Decisions DVD". You can always dumb yourself down in a conversation with someone, but it's hard to fake self esteem and confidence.............just my 2 cents.

3. I recently witnessed a HORRIBLE,HORRIBLE interview/sim ride from the right seat as the non-flying pilot. Buddy, this guy had no business getting hired and didn't...........So, my third piece of advice is get serious about your next interview and make sure you can fly the sim to a reasonable standard..........very reasonable............not 60 degree bank turns in the wrong direction and 800 ft altitude deviations...........this poor kid wasted his time, my time and the airlines time.

This is sincere and I hope it helps..............best of luck!!
