Basically it's a job fair. Pilot hiring will be there. Bring your resume. They will "wow" you with how great this place is.

Keep your resume and app warm if you get picked up. This place pays you in false hopes and yet, somehow, also, lowered expectations.

Not sure how you read that as an attitude towards vets. That was fully about the company they are applying at. Just like my sim partner did. Quit a week after iOe for better pastures.

In the game of an airline career once you have too much at stake (seniority) you can’t really just start over, but if you move on quick enough it’s worth it. I always said I’d give myself 3 years to leave and it didn’t happen so I’m probably going to stick it out for the long haul.

and so am I. Thats not the issue. Many of us Vets are trying to help Vets including many Helo pilots get hired. Your comments do nothing to help them (nor do they ever really?)....So what are you doing positive for your Vets to get hired at JB? You could volunteer for VIB on Dec 6th?
