Congrats everyone who made it!! From what rumblings I hear in our grapevine you'll be getting on at a very good time! It seems next year should be a very exciting year, if things work as they should.

Can you expand on the next year deal?

Welcome aboard, folks! Get ready for the adventure, you will enjoy this ride. I'm into my fourth year and still love to go to work. You'll get to see and do things in your first year here that most people at the legacy carriers only read about. See you at Michael's in Morbach for a pils or two!

Kind of depressing seeing so many fellow pilots getting calls and even hired on! What are times for those of you getting hired? Until then, I will keep reading and studying and applying!

I know how you are feeling, as I've felt the same way for the last couple of years. Best advice I have for you or anyone else is if you want it bad enough, don't give up. Continue to go to job fairs, network, and keep at it. I can't speak for everyone, but in my case perseverance truly paid off.

As far as flight times go, I wouldn't worry about it too much. As others have said over and over again, if you meet the mins you are qualified.

Good luck!
