Do I need IFR Currency/4500+ TT; Competitive?
I am wondering if I need to have recent instrument and night time to be considered for UPS specifically, and all the majors in general. I flew plenty of instruments in my last military flying job, and a little in a 172 just before I retired, but none in the last 2 years. Other times:
4500+ TT (mostly fighter and T-38 time) 3000+ Turbine 2300+ PIC 1800+ IP 500+ in last year, 1100+ in last 24 months ATP, B737TR, CFI, CFII, MEI, AGI, A&P Oh, and I'm also working on a PhD as far as education goes. But no IFR time in 24 months. And a couple of internal recommendations (only 1 that flew with me). Should I get IFR recurrent in order to be considered competitive? How long might I have to wait for an interview? Am I even in the running?:confused: |
go take an IPC and youll be current what else do you need with your resume youll be at delta in 6 months.

The 73 type will be a big red flag as they think you will bolt for SWA at the first opportunity. You should seriously consider going to your nearest FSDO and surrendering your 73 type if you truly want to work for any major other than SWA.

Its flame bait AV9er. No need to worry about the 737 type.
