Thanks for the feedback. I have no DUIs. No criminal or civil trial history. I have a college degree and am currently working on an MBA. Do they want an aviation science degree these days? I didn't do that because I don't think that an aviation science degree is a good safety net. I have 400 hrs in the last 6 months. I have just over 150 multi. The only moving violation that I have in the last 10 years was a minor speeding ticket in 2001 (45 in a 35 I think). I know some guys that got hired with several speeding tickets!
Perhaps just over 900 tt is not enough? Should I wait until I have ATP mins to re-apply? I'm honestly not trying to be sarcastic, I am just curious what "competitive" is these days. I also want to know what else I need to work on.
It seems to me that hiring managers might find a better return on their recruiting and training investment if they might consider hiring people with 800-1500TT also - because those people would probably be around longer? Mesaba seems like a good company, so I don't mind waiting though...
