If you next goal is an airline job, then you should do everything you can to get hired ASAP!!! I can't stress this enough.......DL and UA are hiring 200 a month...and seniority is EVERYTHING!
DL doesn't care that you did 14 vice 15 check rides while on Active Duty....see above...get hired ASAP!!
Not sure of what you have done up to this point, but in case you haven't:
1) Fill out app ASAP...get it professionally reviewed...lots of good reviews for Checked and Set...once you are 100% happy, publish the app
2) Interview Prep: Do it! Emerald Coast Interview Consulting is the most popular in my opinion...been doing it a long time...good track record for success
3) Online assessment prep: Ready Set Takeoff (RST) or Cut-E are what most guys are using.
What he said.
realize that going from zero to a 95+% ready app, prepped for interview, and prepped for tests can take 6-9 months … and that’s if it’s pretty high on your list of **** to get done. I usually advise guys heading towards 20 to start networking and figuring things out at the 18 year point.
If you’re past 20, and thinking about retiring and going to the airlines, and you haven’t started yet… you’re late!
