I guess 915 total time with 165 multi, a bachelors degree, a partially completed MBA, ten years of total management experience, and five years of aviation management experience is not enough to merit an interview.
My current plan is to re-apply (or just update my resume) in about three months when I should have 135 mins. Maybe I should remove the management stuff from my resume?
I would love to work for Mesaba. I think I'll just have to wait a while. Although they are publishing 600 tt as their required minimum, I hear they are hiring mostly guys with 121 experience. The only guys that are getting hired with low time probably know someone.
Do you work for Mesaba?
When it comes down to it nothing really matters until you are competitive in the flight time category. If you had 2000 turbine and previous 121 experience you might be very competitive with all your other experience added to it.
