You do know you are not the only one applying? Not everyone is going to get a call. Do you have an internal recommendation?

Spoilers...a true voice of reason. I understand the market is flooded with applicants. Unfortunately, I do not know anybody in the American Eagle family. To be honest, I dont know one military guy flying regional jets.

I remember an article in one of the local DFW papers several years ago that AMR was offering to help the more senior pilots of AE to find another job. If I find a link to that article I'll post it.

Welcome to the club. 3000TT 1500ME 700Jet Type Rating, current flying job, 135 jet experience, jet sim instructor/evaluator blah..blah...Interviewed and conditionally hired in May 08 only to get rejection letter the day after the second day of interview (would pay good money to find out why! Tell me what's broke and maybe I can fix it) Internal Recc. Clean record both professionally and personally. Not a peep either. I would bet that airlineapps.com is working just fine.

That would be me. The gray-headed part. Maybe that is the problem.....

A month to 2 months seems to be avg. They're interviewing a variety of people, from CFIs just over the mins, to furloughed 121 guys. 1200-7000 hours.

Try to stay patient. I know its tough these days. I'm keep telling myself that as I continue look for somewhere to go after Mesa.

Guys/gals, HR is flooded with applicants. Over 500, so it's gonna take some time. They have plenty of folks such as yourselves applying. Be patient and keep your options open.

You're right. But it makes one wonder when you hear those with equal or less qualifications getting the call. In April of 08 I updated airlineapps and within 10 minutes I had an email saying I needed to call to schedule an interview. I know times have changed but it would be interesting as to how they prioritize their choices of who interviews now.

They may help, but aren't always the case. If ANYTHING is incorrect or you're missing something that was asked for, then you're out. Trust me when I say internal recs will not guarantee you an interview much less a job.

Again, they have 150 or so slots and over 500 apps!
