I think you have to have at least 10 posts first. Some guys just post a few bogus messages so they can PM immediately...which you may want to do if this gig is important to you...

streaking has always helped me "stand out from the rest."

Just showing up unannounced could be risky, especially if there having a busy day. Just my two cents.

My understanding is it is a bad idea... especially since the hiring is done at MCC in Sacramento, not at their HQ in San Carlos. The DO, CP and pilot recruiting manager are all in MCC.

As jetjockee said it could be disruptive to their day, especially if they are having a busy day (which I imagine is normal operations around there). The best thing to do is keep your application updated and update it frequently.

Streaking is not rediculous. In the right context, it's perfectly normal.

I submitted my resume and app last night. I interviewed this morning, and I start class tomorrow. What's wrong with the rest of you guys? All I really got was the generic e-mail. With so many applicants, I'm not holding my breath.

Dude. keep up. I walked in, stood there for 30 seconds, and BAM. they hired me on the spot. No questions asked. What's Ya'lls issue. Just walk in, and GET the gig. Strait up.
