I have about 250 Turbine at the moment and 400 multi-engine, 1600TT. Looking to get hired as an FO. I meet all ATP minimums. I've had my application in for just over 1.5 months. Can anyone offer some advice on getting my foot in the door for an interview? Resume is good, no checkride failures, etc. Unfortunately I just missed the Meet the Chiefs event this past week due to being on rotation.
Any advice is appreciated!
Sounds like you don't have an ATP. You need to have that in order to hear back. Yeah, I know you may read of anecdotal stories on here about 1 or 2 getting in without one (outside of our university or cadet programs) but if true, that would definitely be a very rare exception. The word I've heard multiple times over directly from those in charge of hiring is that you have to have an ATP to get hired off the street.
