Few Aviate people I talked to at AW waiting patiently interviewed in 2019. Both of them are interviewing at different airlines this week feeling slighted and losing a lot of seniority at UAL. Personally, I don't know what I want to do. My bf is thinking Aviate cause he's new to the airlines and needs experience in the 121 world. I have my time and based on what is required in Aviate, exceed all of them, so I'm thinking OTS. Thoughts?
It sounds like you are deciding whether to interview through Aviate or to try to get an interview off the street. I know other pilots who are also deciding whether to join an Aviate carrier or go to a non-Aviate carrier and try to get an interview OTS.
The question is, if you have a successful interview, which path will get you there more quickly?
As of now, the answer is off the street. The Aviate line is moving very slowly.
In the future, that may not be the case. But as of now it is.
