It’s amazing how many people seem to think that airlines have giant call centers full of line pilots just sitting around waiting for your call.

Other options are:
- Sending an email to the main Recruitment email address
- Emailing a recruiter directly via the Recruitment contacts webpage
- Contacting recruitment by first speaking to social media staff via the FB page
- if you are a current employee, stopping by the office.
- Making sure to get the name and direct number to each and every person you deal with in the process, so you can bypass the main line and go straight to the source

Also be sure to take a deep breath and remember that people don’t work 24/7, are occasionally out of the office for a day, and do sometimes take vacation. Also, many things in the airline pilot recruiting process have specific triggers, rules, procedures, processes, etc. Chances are...they haven’t forgotten about you. You just may not be the only person they are working with at the moment.
