Attitude is everything. Acting entitled wont get you anywhere. Just ask the hundreds if not thousands of so called "teir 1 candidates" some with decades of heavy jet PIC time, or heavy Military time, that dont get a CJO. HR doesnt like, and pilots dont want to share a cockpit with folks who are full of themselves.

I agree. I'm not full of myself. I'm actually a nice guy. I'm just tired of seeing lesser qualified pilots getting my dream job.

Check airman and instructor at my regional.... etc. Still no call. I'm sick of it, seeing newbies with far fewer quals getting the call to DAL, while I waste my talents flying the RJ for thousands of more hours.

It's not the quals that gets you hired.

Sorry, I wasnt saying that directly at you. Nor am I saying you dont deserve a call from a legacy. Im sure you would be a great candidate and a good fit at any legacy.
Was just pointing out that a pure abundance of "qualifications" in todays world, doesnt mean as much as it used to. HR departments place heavy favoritism to good attitudes, volunteering, etc. many articles from CEO's, Ivy league schools etc, show a trend in companies finding qualified candidates and good fitting personalities. Not just the best candidate on paper. I dont know the algorythim behind it, and quite frankly it sometimes does not make sense
I agree with you, seeing folks with buddies at majors get hired overmore experienced guys isnt entirely fair. Those with minimal experience, a pink slip or two, etc are the minority. Maybe they have family in HR? Or dad is a senior pilot. Who knows. But at the end of the day the world isnt fair. We just have to deal with the hand we are dealt. Our numbers will be called eventually.
