Andrew - thanks. It might help TC understand the steps guys are taking to get hired.

I know a guy that went to 17(?) job fairs. Spent about $8000 (I think that was the amount he said) over the last 3(?) years. Got hired in his low 30's, will retire under 100 at one of the Big 3.

All the pilot recruiting teams knew him by first name. Nice guy. Sharp. Only thing his resume lacked was TPIC. Upgraded...bam, hired.

He was a BIG believer in keeping his foot HARD on the throttle until he got hired. For him it worked. Every day he got hired was about $600 more in his pocket. So the breakeven for his $8000 was about 13 days. He's WELL ahead of that curve.

I am still outside looking in. I think some of it is random. I do believe networking still helps. The calls I got were from the two of the three I thought I did the best with at OBAP. Spending the time and money will pay off.

It is very nice to see some interviews/hiring going on. Has been quite a long pause.

Indeed. It's been a long wait.
