It goes round and round like this.
I got a Saab type and 3500 hours on the aircraft, not on furlough, degrees, perfect record, etc. It doesn't seem like they're bending over backwards to get me interviewed or hired. What kind of experience do you have that they keep calling you?
Maybe they're like a twisted girlfriend who likes you more if you ignore them?!
I think the last line may be the most correct. I've been called at least 10 times several emails. I haven't responed yet. I don't think I fit what they are looking for as far as I dont have Dash time just 1500tt 500PIC 1000SIC. I'm looking for a job but I just can't call them back. I know the first question they will ask is "Why do you want to work for Colgan?" and to be honest I just can't come up with an answer. What do I say to them??? Its a great company! (NOT) Great equipment(NOT) Great pay (NNNOOOOOOTTTTT) Great bases(NOT) Reasonable upgrade times (don't know) I mean if anyone can come up with an answer other then I need a job (I make more on unemployment then I would if I only made min at Colgan) I would love to hear it. My only guess for you OldSF3Dude is the fact that you have been several places looks like you would jump ship as soon as possible. I would rather be in your shoes with all the time and degrees but I'm not I'm on the Colgan radar!
