I am gonna come off orders in about 6 months, and trying to decide when I should fire the resumes out to everyone. I want to do it as early as I can so they know that I am realy interested but I dont want to do it too early where they say no and my stuff is just filed in the round filing cabinet or worse I get black listed.
Thanks
Do it now! Send out resumes to any and all airlines you qualify for. And, update it every couple of months as you get more flying in. When called in for an interview, tell them when you would be available. DO NOT LIE! I waited and it took me around 10 months. But, during that time, my wife was working and I helped her out (home based business). We also used some of our savings to pay bills. In addition, I went to many interviews with regionals with the intention of turning them down (for the practice - had over 3000 hrs heavy muti from the USAF). Did the rotc thing in college and had no experience with interviewing.
Remember, many people have resumes in ahead of you and yours will go on the bottom. May take time for them to get to yours.
Good luck!
