I have also herd that NJ loves military guys and being a Navy guy I was happy to here that - but with 2 strong internal rec's and plenty of PIC jet I am beginning to wonder. I have had my " app acceptance " for email for 6 months and no interview?? I hate to be the one starting rumors but I have herd from these two internal rec's that Derinda is in trouble with the ethics comity with how she is running the interviewing process and that dept has had some people recently fired. I'm not sure if I am the only noticing allot of people getting interview with less PIC than what everyone has been saying is the "Norm". Before the military bashing starts - in this same time I have had 3 other interview offers - so I just wonder what is going on at NJ.
OK let it start ........

First of all, I am a retired military pilot. Many of our pilots have some military background. I haven't noticed any bias against the military. I think you're probably just caught up in the large volume of applicants that are trying to get an interview. The hiring office is only staffed with 3 people...Derinda (recruiter), the department manager and an administrative assistant. Also, most of those who are applying probably also have strong inside recommendations.
Just hang in there and hopefully you'll get the calling soon.

UCLAbruins - trust me I hope to be on the line soon myself since the milk from the government teet is running dry in a few months. I don't think there is any bias against military guys at NJ - I just meant I don't think nor expect any special treatment and I know some guys think we run around with our noses in the air. I have heard of alot NJ pilots sending recs to try and get guys an interview that are already very competitive on there own and then I see on other sites new hires posting trip reports with minimum flight time, NO COLLEGE, and a 3 month turnaround from app complete to interview-****? This is what I meant when I said that Derinda or that dept is being looked at internally - again just what I heard from a inside source.

Who gets picked for interviews is anyones guess at all the companies. I was denied an interview from CS and Flex. No interview with CAL or JB although some friends with nearly the same resume got an interview. I was offered interviews with DAL and SWA as well, some guys with the same resumes have not heard from these guys. It is a crap shoot.

Of my total 3000 hours is in AH-64A/D, of which 2700 IP/PIC. Type rated in 300 series King Airs, ATP writ complete and will be taking my ATP ride as soon as I get out of Iraq at CAE Simuflite at DFW in the 350 sim. Seem competetive in some of your opinions?
The only thing I have to add is:
PLEASE be careful over there and Merry Christmas. I have spent this season away from home and I know how tough it is. Thanks a ton for putting it out there on the line.
As for the rest, you have the mins and therefore competitive.
