I don't want to hear people say anything about me demanding a job or anything remotely like that. I'm absolutely not. I'm just wondering if I should take a different course of action. [615tt/210me]
SuperPilotJesse,
I sympathize with you man. I don't get it myself. I convinced one of the other pilots I flew with last summer to finally get his resume into Mesaba only after his interview at AE fell short. He put his resume in 3 months (Dec) after I did and he also got the same notification via email and he had 700TT and 75ME. To not even get an interview, well...it was troubling. He's a good pilot, I trained him. But, maybe timing has something to do with it. I'm very fortunate to be in the position I'm in.....just thankful that my other buddy convinced me to apply when I did....or, I might be sitting at home in your situation as well.
The only other advice I have it to really review your resume and see if it was lacking in anything. When my friend forwarded me his resume, I was kind of shocked that he failed to put things in it like:
1) Instrument Current
2) ATP written <insert score here>
3) FCC radio license
4) First Class Medical
5) U.S. Passport
APC has some great resume tips and I modeled my resume after the same model. I got a call 2 days to interview later.
Best of luck to you.
