More questions about getting reffered. I have quite a few AA and Eagle internal recs, but some of them don't know where to actually refer me. There is a link on Jetnet somewhere but all that does is bring them to the Eagle careers website (which I can reach myself) All is that on the careers site is a place to type in my email and their name, and I get an email saying I should apply for XX job. To me it just sounds like I'm getting the email and nothing goes to Eagle HR thats an actual referral.
What should I tell them to do? Email CC, along with her 10 billion + resumes and apps she already has to look through? Or is there another way on Jetnet?
If you need to PM me, you can do so too.

That's the thing, if you are furloughed right now, and you haven't touched a plane or haven't had a "flying" job in the past 12 months you are SOL. With American Eagle making it a requirement to have a current flying job, the majority of furloughed pilots won't get a call because they don't meet the requirements.
It is a crappy situation. Flight schools won't hire furloughed airline guys, because they know you will bail as soon as something better comes along. Most 135 companies won't hire 121 guys, because you've been SIC in a glass plane and haven't flown single-pilot IFR in a while or at all. You can't compete for the corporate/charter jobs, because for one, there are very few and you got no chance when you go up against a furloughed NetJets or Flexjet guy. So, the only chance right now to get back into flying would be 121, either by recall or going to another regional, but this "12 month job requirement" just eliminated or reduced your chances of that. So, what are we suppose to do?

They ended up calling me back and said,update them in 6 months with more current times. I did a BFR and an IPC before the interview. I won't get more current than that. I am screwed.

No disparagement to those who are current 135 or CFI's getting these slots, as I'm truly happy for anyone getting a flying job in this economy. Congrats!!
BUT...where's Eagle ALPA and National on this? Fellow qualified airline pilot dues paying ALPA brethren are getting passed over specifically BECAUSE they're furloughed ALPA pilots? Where's the "Strength In Unity"? I truly hope this isn't the case.

I remember when everyone was saying that KLGA would close because they were going to knock down the terminal and rebuild it so in the mean time everyone would be BOS based. People really believed it. They said you wait and see it's going to be announced soon.

First I thought they were only interviewing those current within the last 12 months...then I heard 6 months...and now it seems the rumor is "current flying job". It's definitely frustrating. I can only imagine how the guys who have been f'd for a long time feel...here's to hoping us furloughed guys start getting called next week. I'd really like to work for Eagle and get my ass where it belongs (up in the air!)
