Im not talking about 10-15 hours, Im talking about being 100's of hours short of published mins. To say that people that apply below minimums are hurting others is ridiculous.

 

So the friends I have that are in charge of hiring for their flight departments that have told me this first hand must all be wrong. I will make sure they run any future hiring through you first.

 

Please explain to me why I know of people that are getting hired with under 500 hours, when the minimums for the company are 1,000

 

^ Ya Red Forman whats up with that ??? There is no way !!! ZQJ must be mistaken right ???

 

Ok Sir, and I will go tell the HR departments for every regional that is hiring right now that they should not be accepting applicants below published mins, because Red Forman and his awesome cool friends say it is a bad idea.

BTW I never said your friends were wrong smart guy. I said that you were wrong for telling the OP that he should not apply because he does not meet the minimums.

 

Is it possible for you to have a disagreement with someone and not be so childish and disrespectful? Good luck getting very far with such a poor attitude.

 

Quite possibly the worst post/advice I have ever seen on this website.

Obviously, If one has 350TT don't be applying at FedEx, SWA. But, with that said, by all means, apply at all those regionals with 500, 600 800, etc, mins.

 

You are right. Sorry for my childish behavior.... I will do better!!! Good luck to you as well Sir !!!

 

Ok, while everyone else is busy p!$$!ng in each other's Cheerios, here is my advice (for what little it's worth):

You're on the right track. It's your resume, not the company's application form. List those attributes you have which make you a good candidate for the job or differentiate you from other candidates. The resume's job is to get you noticed and get you in the door for the interview or to receive the official application.

Personally, I'd leave the amount of flight time off since it's fairly small and simply list it as "Experience in turbojet flight operations - CE-525" (or whatever the designator is for the CJ2). I don't recall it the CJ is a Part 25 aircraft, if it is I might change turbine to "transport category." You haven't in anyway lied about your experience, but you have pointed out that you have experience in the right seat of a jet. Hopefully you can talk about the specifics thereof in the interview, at which time you can clarify (if necessary) that you haven't logged the time, since it doesn't count for anything, but that you did gain valuable experience from it. Hopefully you'll be able to continue flying in that aircraft, because you are gaining experience (I would keep track of that time so you can reference it, just not in the logbook).

 

Did you see my post where I said I knew someone that was trying to fill a position in a Global with mins of 3,000TT and he got hundreds of applications from people with a few hundred hours? That's what I'm getting at. It was a waste of his time getting rid of all the crap just to find the people who were actually qualified.
