I meet all the requirements (ATP, 2700+hrs, current 135 and previous 121) so I applied online. I'm friends with a check airman over there and have a buddy that is a FO in DCA so I know what I am getting myself into. A couple of days ago, however, I received a "thanks but no thanks" e-mail from HR. I'm trying to figure out if you guys are indeed hiring off the street or if you're only hiring the furloughed guys (such as Lynx pilots) that are currently on the street? Any information is greatly appreciated.
Friend of mine applied with ATP 4000tt 1200 121 PIC 3 internal recs and still got turned down. From what I understand, not only are they are not short of qualified applicants, but they got 500+ more applications than they were hoping for. Pilot shortage, go figure.

That just may be the case
