What a bush league sector of the industry. And I thought part 91/small fry 135 was ad hoc. He'll get the job too in spite of that HR grandstanding. #Ican't

 

Damn that would have confounded me as well. That's USAF survival training crap right there, straight out of the Limnadians playbook.

 

So what did you get your cat for Xmas?

 

“Thank you for your answer of why us. We’d just like to go over this one thing... [pulls out paper with APC post]. You wrote this about our contract! How dare you Sir. We here at ABC regional do not tolerate this kind of behavior, and hire only the best of the best who show up to interview......




So can you start Monday?”

 

Mine just does a cat scan of the house and takes what he wants.

 

My vet did that with my late dog. He was motionless and not breathing. I took him to the vet. The vet said my dog was dead.

I said, are you sure? He said let me run a more sophisticated test. He opened the door. In walked a feline, circled my dog 3 times, and walked out. No response.

I got my bill. Office visit, deceased dog $50. Second opinion, CAT scan $25.

It is an old joke, but worth it!

 

That’s exactly what I thought! And by the way, one of many reasons I don’t use social media (LinkedIn being the one exception).

 

If you're a SM addict (not to be confused with S&M...keep that private) you're gonna be viewed. I deleted my FB account before applying. Not that I think I did anything wrong, but some of the "friends" I had posted some questionable material. Guilt by association? Not for me. Not when I really wanted this job. YMMV.

 

The amount of legacy retirements exceed the current number regional pilots (give or take).

Unless you are a complete and utter moron, who posts racist or politically charged BS all the time, chill out. Seriously.

At almost every airline it is a complete lottery ticket to even be selected by the computer/algorithm for an interview.

I’m 10 years into this career. I’m at my 3rd airline now (one on my top 3 list). I have certainly posted or shared some dumb BS at some point in time on SM (show me someone who hasn’t). I’ve gotten 3 different airline jobs and never been asked once about anything.

I have lots of friends in the 9-5 corporate America world. SM is a big deal in that spectrum. The airlines? I’ve yet to meet anyone in this brotherhood who’s been told to F off because of what they posted on FB.

Again if your an idiot online that’s one thing, but most people act like the decent people they are. YMMV

 

Agreed by a lot. Put some numbers to it.

Over the next 20 years, US majors retirements will be about 50,000.

The amount of hiring over those next 20 years, all of North America is estimated at 90,000 per Boeing. This is retirements, attrition, and growth.

There are 20,000 regional pilots. Old rule of thumb is 10% lifers. That means 18,000 regional pilots interested in moving up.

Even if Boeing’s forecast is on the high side. (I don’t think it is.) — it just kind of takes one’s breath away.

A lot of new hires will have to get hired by the regionals and move up, or get hired directly by the majors like they did several decades ago.
