Colgan, and Great Lakes seem to be the only thing that doesnt have that requirement, and Commut when I reach 900. Colgan is my first choice but I haven't heard from them. But Anyhow, can any of you give me any insight to what I should do. I dont have my CFI's, mainly because I dont have the complete patience to deal with people who want to learn to fly but have no interest in learning.
These are the 2 options I can think of...
1. Keep applying to those airlines
2. Get my CFI's and when I turn 21 apply for a regional.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Why not go to college and instruct while there? You can do a 4 year bachelors in 3 years and have a much better resume and also not cap yourself from majors. If you go to a 121 you will still have to wait till you are 23 to upgrade... The age thing is a bit of a sticking point I must admit- when I was sending out resumes a few months ago (before I turned 21) I could only apply to those regionals where I could e-mail a resume. The 21 age thing IS a requirement for many and must be met for an interview. Good luck
