But who knows…..A lot of people have the perfect resume for xxx airline that could never get hired. The opposite is also true.
Thanks, I appreciate the insight!

I appreciate you being willing to offer advice, but I’d like to be clear that while I may not meet some of the checkboxes to get an interview-I don’t need the condescending attitude. I’ve had plenty of wide-body international captains jumpseat with me over the years and say my job is more difficult than theirs. Single pilot ifr /A no automation with 3+ hand flown approaches to minimums most days in a decently sized aircraft is not crawling, and it’s not prideful of me to think that I might have a shot at moving up after 3 years of it-especially since I also have a bachelors and have flown crewed, international and had CRM/EFIS/FMS courses to prep me for 121. You can tell me I’m under qualified to apply at this time without talking down to what I do on a daily basis. I’m always willing to work on things to get better as a pilot and be a better applicant, but there are very few people who can do what I do for as long as I have and do it well.
