I now live in Psm and would love to work for Planesense as a captain.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to get an interview? I burned my bridges on the prior applications by having to say no thank you. It was unforeseen bad timing. I’ve had some good life changes and things have smoothed out for me. I’ll be in the PSM area for a very long time as I’ve bought a house. I need the company to know I’m serious and very qualified for the job. I sent in my resume and cover letter last fall and did not get a response. I want to fly out of my hometown, no more commuting. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

As far as home basing, there are places 5 times the size that still don't home base. The idea was visited back last year, but logistically and financially didn't make sense to the company to home base its pilots. It would be nice, but just isn't in the cards in the near future. As of now, there are no current shortages of applicants with the current bases.
