When I handed the recuriter my resume, before I could even open my mouth to introduce myself, she looked right at my flight time and said that I am not looking competitive, and then told me that right now, competitive hiring minimums are 4,000 to 6,000 total time. I get that I missed the big regional FO hiring wave of last year. But I wish I would have at least been giving a chance to market myself at RTAG before being shut down .005 seconds into the job fair.
What I’m hearing is you’d rather have someone blow smoke up your rear side than hear the truth. Personally I’d rather be told where the gate is and aim for that than be told something else. Bottom line is keep your apps updated and you’ll get the call eventually. The recruiters are the gate keepers, if one told you the truth be happy about that and also keep working on it….
