I have a 737 type, with zero time in type and they hired me. I used WIA funds to obtain it. Never even really came up. In fact, I think it helped, because the 737 sim is the closest thing to a transport category plane I have ever flown. All my other jet time was 28,660 lbs or less.

I do not think they have interviewed in Tulsa at all since about Mid March. Some of us have been in the pool since February, however, I think they are down to about 3 weeks of folks left in the pool, and there is still a need for pilots. Rumor has it interviews will likely start again in late June or July.

They don't seem to keep a stack of resumes that are "call next time we need someone." I honestly think without a walk in, it is all about having the mins, and luck in timing of your resume hitting the right desk. I have read about people applying with better qualifications than I have for a year with no call, while I applied and was called within days. I only applied once, with no internal (although I know plenty of people working there.) My theory, apply often, and via varying mediums. What could it hurt? One more thing, Omni does not send out "Thank you for your resume, but...." type emails. So don't get freaked out by no reply at all.
