What's the vibes on hiring over the next 3-5 years or so? I still know guys who are getting offers from legacies at sub-1000 turbine time. Does this tend to be the exception, rather than the norm? Planning to apply (app is filled out just need to complete IOE before I submit). Just wondering what the latest vibes are for the medium term.
Yeah, yeah.. I missed the wave. Can't do anything about that, flying wasn't possible for me til 2020. Time is mostly on my side (just turned 29), but I do struggle with FOMO.
I had similar resume and had gotten bites from DL and UA along with a bunch of my friends and acquaintances. 800 hours of turbine seemed to be the sweet spot. I would add that I also volunteered and hit multiple conventions hard. Networked a ton outside of that too. It’s definitely possible. That said, anything can happen. Try to affect what you can change and don’t sweat the stuff you can’t.
