I have 0 121 time, so there is no hope of me getting on at a major, but I have lots of connections in the 91 world, and something is bound to pop one of these days.
Don't sell yourself short on the 121 world. If you get enough TPIC, TT and can attend a fair or get some internal recs then you never know what can happen. Only YOU can make it happen. Sorry to hear about NJA but keep your head up and good luck whatever you decide!

Man I have friends that all they had was 135 and 91 time that are flying for Majors. Most did go to SWA, but a few of them went to JetBlue and United. My philosophy is to put in everywhere. They can't say yes or no without applying.

All good points. Not sure I have a strong enough desire to go to the airlines to do the job fair dance, but I will consider it.

Also, I just found out that out of our group of 12, only 5 got invited to the sim. If EJA wants to hire 200 folks this year, they better refine how the select who they interview!

Sorry you didn't get the nod, but it could be a blessing. You never know.

Depending on where you live, I'd say give Piedmont or PSA a shot. Poor pay the first year but both are going to be, or are upgrading quickly. You'll have a great shot at AA within a couple of years as well.

Understand, but both of those companies are flowing guys to AA rapidly.

PSA doesn't have a flow through, they have a preferential interview. Now Envoy does, but at the rate of 30 a month it would take around 9 years to flow to AA.
