I don't know what the secret is, I am starting to wonder if my own rec does more harm than good? My strategy was to get hired before the new contract knowing full well that once the new contract was passed, would have a harder time... I can imagine Spirit is more selective now too, along with Omni, allegiant, etc. It's basic supply and demad.

Lots of former ACMI and Mil with some regional folks mixed in. You are not overqualified. Any multi-jet PIC?

You need TPIC. They love TPIC.

K4 is the ONLY airline in this segment that has operational stability. They will reap the rewards as a result. The pilots fought very long and hard for a contract and Connie was smart enough to see that an agreement would pay in spades with the current climate. Old school cunning beats Harvard MBA yet again.

You know though, if you are ABX and simply not a CA due to the long upgrade time, that could be acceptable. If you could of upgraded a long time ago and chose to be a career FO, they probably won't look at you. They have a saying, "we hire captains."

Well I was a career FO at 3 regionals not by choice so anything is possible. 12 years of that. Crazy how things have changed since I was hired 2 years ago as far as mins! Now in the middle of upgrade on the 767! Got hired into the 767. And don't show up like billy bad@ss you will get owned no matter the fleet. Top tip!

767 is like flying an Atari with Dodge Hellcat power! Don't rely on the automation to bail you out. This airplane is hands on and will keep you honest!
