Yes, it's pretty common.

yes actually. Got the unfortunate no and was told to try again in 6 months. 6 months to the day of my TBNT I went to a meet the chiefs and mentioned that it was 6 months and was re-invited to re-interview about 4 days later.

We have a very high hire rate on second interviews.

If you still want it, go for it. Bring a good attitude to the interview and it'll likely go better

Is 2 letters of rec a hard requirement? I recall seeing that somewhere and I only had 1 when I interviewed.

I am a cadet and CFI approaching 1200 hours. Would it be stupid and/or unethical to take a job flying cargo for the remaining 300 hours at say Ameriflight? I feel it would be good experience in terms of transition to a bigger aircraft like the A320.

Good question. In todays world it’s normal to jump ship whenever. It used to be a big problem to give an employer less than 1 year. It’s nice to see you actually have morals.

There's nothing that says you can't build your hours flying for a 135/91k company. Only that they expect you to fly 70+ hours a month. That being said, I wouldn't if I was in your position. Now would be a good time to start studying the memory items/limitations/flows and some systems for the A320.

From what I’ve been told we don’t get any Information to study till we start training. Where could I find limitations/memory items on the 320 online?
