You could be a Chuck Yeager, Tim Martins, etc; but your attitude can kill the whole process...

 

hahahahaha!!! A tim martins. lol!!! I can see this will be a humorous saying for a long time to come. Love it.

 

Can anyone answer my question? What is a Captain review board and what are they looking for/at?

 

It is a final review of your interview and background paperwork. A bunch of senior captains and HR folk meet every friday. If they see something they don't like ---Well you get the picture. Once you make it past the review board, you are pretty much in.

 

I hate to be the buzz killer but I'm sure they look at more than how you interview AT HDQ's. How you carry yourself when not being watched (Hotels, Vans, Airport) all gets relayed some how back to the hiring department. Best of luck to those still waiting...

 

Got the call today. Passed the board.

 

Times and certificates?

 

Some of these responses would be relevant if I was complaining about not being called to interview, or not receiving an offer after the interview...but that's not the case. I'm furloughed 121 and went through 6 months of futile job apps until just recently landing an instruction gig. I've applied to and been rejected/not called by more places than I can count. I had no issues with any of it prior to AE because I understand that it's a very selective market. Again...my issue with AE is the fact that they invite you to interview (which means they feel you're qualified), offer you a job conditionally (which means you interviewed well and they simply are awaiting your background check/drug tests as detailed in the letter) and then rescind the offer without supplying a reason. From my experience, this is backwards, wasteful and unprofessional. All I'm saying is that I think they should only interview people they are reasonably assured will get through the review board. Same goes for the conditional job offers (only give them to people you'll recommend to the board). Airlineapps and the interview gives them everything they need to know unless your background check shows you lied. If the board is going to reject furloughed 121, then stop interviewing furloughed 121. If they're going to reject guys with 1,000 turbine PIC, then don't interview them. And if they still insist on interviewing people they don't want (???), then at least explain the real nature of the review board instead of claiming it's just pending a drug test/background check.

Anyway I'll stop beating a dead horse!!!

 

this is the same company that was hiring 250 hour wonders not too long ago right?
