I have had cool titles in the past like DOM and Chief Pilot but do they care?

I applied today because I know nothing is going to happen just sitting around. I need to just keep my eyes open to see if I can find a job fair that they are attending.

Teamwork
With a wide-body 121 experienced sim partner and a good class that sticks together and studies every day (from day 1) to make sure no one is left behind, most anyone with the minimum hours and the desire to succeed will make it though...but that is what it takes.
Not all classes are created equal. Self study is great, but knowing how to self study for a course like the one Kalitta offers is the key that a solid class can provide. I say apply and show your enthusiasm. Attend the job fair if you can but don't wait to apply.
Update your resume once a month by sending it to HR with new numbers and the things you're doing to consistently improve yourself. Continue to network and make friends. Where there is a will, there is a way!

I was thinking I might have to start posting adds on Craigslist that I will mow yards and shovel sidewalks for K4 pilots in exchange for a rec. Your suggestions sounds better and that is the plan right now. Would you load your other letters of rec on the ADP system?

My post was not to discourage anyone but to explain the reality. Yes if you have the right attitude, but you need the aptitude to make it.
Upgrade is quick here and it’s a huge reality check. 2018 is going to be interesting.
