What are the chances that someone without a sponsor or internal recs will get a call? I'm assuming almost none, but hopeful it's not.
Who knows if they'll do it with others but as it has been said on here: You can't win the lottery without playing!
Track down the hiring folks at job fairs: WIA, OBAP, etc. You never know what might work. Good luck.

Hey everyone! How up to date is the gouge on here and do you recommend anything else to better my chances of being considered? All I have is KC135 time (I have the other mins: FE, ATP, etc...). As crappy as it sounds, would anyone recommend going with a lesser company just to get an MD80 rating?
Also, I'm curious about the background experience and time of others that have been hired. And what is the range of time spent in the pool waiting for a class date? On that note, how long have people waited to be called for an interview after they applied?
I really appreciate any pointers. Thanks a bunch for your time...

It took about 7 months from initial application to call for interview for me. YMMV.
It seems time in the pool varies. If you volunteer for a FDA, your pool time will be significantly less. I'm about to enter month six in the pool and others have been in longer. It seems to be a mix of backgrounds (military/civi). I'm a regional guy w/8600 TT/4200PIC. Good luck!
