As a nearly 9yr NK guy, I may look a little young, however I still get asked all the time by certain companies (gate agents/ops agents/FAs), “So do you have you’re app in, do you know we’re hiring?” I’m usually polite but with a little sarcastic twist, “So are we!” I usually say. I know they’re coming from decades of Koolaid drinking and just seemingly being polite, but it’s becoming a little ridiculous. I like where I am in all aspects! I keep up with all the hiring and industry news, does anyone have any similar experiences. Cheers.
And no, I don't ask jumpseaters if they have their app in; I don't care.

Had a captain say “got your app in? We’re hiring you know!” to an RJ captain on the jet bridge and I wanted to crawl in a hole and die.
God bless the RJ guy flying express for our mainline and he goes “oh yea? Who you with?”

now when the tables are turned and they are your flight. You can be a smart a** to them if you want...but hopefully you take the high road and are nice to them.
I have always had a great experience riding on United (awesome pilots) and always appreciate the ride.

It’s all about the delivery of the question, if a sincere question about wanting to work for Delta came up . and offered some advice , sure dif story .
it’s the common and often attitude that was expressed when asked . Everyone here knows what I am saying .
that being said , there are some fantastic guys at delta . This is just a blow to them . It’s a blow to the specific few .

Did you know we're hiring????? Did you know that? This is good news for you? We're hiring. I just want you to know. You should apply.

Maybe because he's had his app in at Delta, United, American, FedEx, and UPS for ELEVEN YEARS, updated it weekly, went to every WAI, OBAP, NGPA conference, spoke with recruiters, did extra work to keep his resume peaked, and hasn't heard anything.

After doing that commute for a while and talking to a lot of the crews, I don't think they realized that being directly hired at -insert major carrier here- isn't a thing unless you're coming from the military. And the old stigma that the regionals were just the idiots who couldn't get hired or drunks or whatever blemish that rendered them unhireable.

SWA captain asks me what I make as 7 year F9 captain. I told him..He then looks at the FO and says “oh wow he actually makes more than you do”….🙄
Just gotta laugh it off sometimes and be appreciative of the ride.

I have to say in 22 + years as an airline pilot, I have yet to have anyone ask me what I make with the exception of 1 family member…. I guess that’s lucky?
