You forgot etiquette. And your spelling was fine enough. Your grammar was wrong. By the way, you spelled 'spelling' wrong. I guess not fine enough.

Nothing wrong with Facebook. It's an OK way to keep up with family and friends and I would certainly be on it if your kids are....I also like seeing what friends, their kids, etc, are up to all in one place. Its convenient on my phone as I dont travel with a laptop often...anyhow..

Its just that its certainly nobody's business what your boss does, where he vacations, where he does business, etc. It has never occurred to me to share that with friends, family, etc...and certainly not with the entire world on Facebook! - like anyone really cares? Its not your plane, house, boat etc and kinda makes you look like a clown anyhow. Bonus points if it's a public traded company! - everyone loves to hear about the multiple Aspen trips during the holidays when the stock is down 50% over a few years........N-Numbers in the pictures and your employer info listed right there. Very good.

All common sense to the majority of people, which may explain why its a challenge to many pilots...:-)

Ill pipe in a repeat what was said in the other replies. "Network"

Theres nothing else that you can do that will make a bigger impression than to go and talk to these people on a regular basis. Make it very clearly known that you want to work with this company and that you are willing to do what it takes to make the operation run smoothly. Assure them that you are (im assuming you are) a team player.
Above all let them know that you have no interest in going back to NJA and expect to bring a copy of your letter of resignation from NJA too..... As BoilerUP said - that could be a deal killer when they see that on your resume so head them off at the pass. I personally know of a situation at the Nordstrom flight department where they hired a guy on furlough from Delta and typed him in 2 of their a/c. He then proceeded to go back to Delta with very short notice to the company and left them in a bind. The CP will never hire a guy like that again now, its just not worth the risk of them leaving.

Its my impression that operators with larger aircraft dont want a revolving door as it just costs money and a lot of times the boss doesnt like seeing new faces all the time. I know mine doesnt want that.

Actually I have heard reports that some employers and employees will check FB on days that you call in sick and see what turns up and if they can match it to the day. Apparently some people have the lack of foresight to friend their bosses and colleagues and then post pictures of enjoyable-looking exploits from sick days. I always assume anything I put on FB is fodder for use against me through any of a number of possible misuses.
