Airline Pilot Central Forums - American interviews and class dates

Anyone know if any Part 135 guys have been invited to interview? If so any ideas as to flight times / qualifications?

Love to make it to American, but with wife/kids/mortgage, I just can't afford to get 121 time at a regional so I'm really hoping 135 time will count for something!

I know a 135 guy who got on, but was also military.

135 flying, especially turbine PIC is highly regarded experience. Much more demanding than 121 with everything familiar and at your fingertips. Recruiters know well.

Thumbs up!

Where are you getting prep/gouge from?

Absolutely. You have just as much a chance as anyone else; the time is counted with equal value.

Good luck!

I heard the same numbers from a friend that interviewed this week. When I interviewed, out of my group of 10, 8 had a military background. Not sure about the other group, but I think they were more around 50/50.

The next indoc class starts next week, right? Is it every two weeks? Or, just 2/month? Wondering if anyone in the know could post the next 2-3 months class sked, if available.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 05:02 PM.
