The regionals need pilots-as bad as some of the pilots need them. Its almost a mutual relationship, they use you to provide a service as a feeder, and you can use them for the experience to move forward.

Pretty certain there is no issue with my reference trying to black list me. He's been advocating pretty hard for me. Only person I know at the company. Can't be sure that he didn't get on someone's bad side. Who knows. I'm pretty gutted about the high test score "problem". I honestly did not see that coming. Sounds possible that I went overboard and screwed myself.

Is there any chance of getting hired without a jet type rating?
I've been to a 142 school several times on a King Air 200 but alas, no type. It's probably a bit of a long shot but is it worth applying?
It'd be great to get this ball rolling without getting typed at my current outfit or going to a regional.

Apply.

That it is. I did have a buddy at Eagle for years, he finally made it over to AA via flow... He just had terrible timing. That said, he was home based and home nearly every night. That isn't bad!

I scored 90% on the test(completed 94 questions, got 4 wrong apparently), and was contacted 2 or 3 days later for the phone interview and in person interview invitation. The tech portion of the interview didn't seem to relate at all to what was on the test(which was probably 75% from the ATP bank, 20% figuring out when to start descent using the 3:1 rule, and 5% other), but then again, the guy I did the tech portion with was tailoring his questions to the type of flying a candidate was currently doing it seemed.

Think of it this way: They would not hesitate to furlough you if they needed to cut back and nobody in management would lose any sleep.
It's just business.
Anyway, what Dutch said. Apply anyway. You never know.

From: 17 year Captain 747-400
Don't know if this was published before but expecting to hire 400 to 450 pilots in the 747 400 this year. Last year all new hires were based in ANC. Able to bid to lower 48 in 3 to 9 months. 3 767s to be acquired this year and possibly many more than that. Pilots hired to 767 this year is unknown.
Im a 17 year 747 400 Captain and check airman. Don't know how to change status under name (not a new hire..)
