Just out of curiosity...what's you motivation? It sound like you have a job that most pilots would want. |

I know a handful of people who went from new SAAB capts to the right seat at a major and were under qualified compared to many of the people in their interview and new hire classes. If the crew does not seem busy ask the latest company news, you might add you are pursuing a change to 121 in the near future and someone might ask if you have a resume handy.... at that point you have nothing to lose!

Yeah, Excel, why would you want to give up a gig that:
- puts you at home every night - doesn't have you on a leash - flies good equipment and go to an airline where you will probably commute to reserve, which is to say always on crew scheduling's leash, and be away from home at least 15 days/month? All the while being subject to a furlough while being junior. Sounds to me like you have that envious job that most pilots would love to have. Just curious? 73 |

Hey Excel,
Welcome to the APF! I have over 5000+, 2500+ turbine PIC and just got a major offer. Internal rec I thought helped. Had internals at JetBlue but it's a different show there these days according to my "buddy" who said the internal would really only "assist" anymore, never guarantee a call - Also, heard that JB likes to see those that update their profile often (I've heard "weekly" as a magic word?) FWIW Good luck - keep trucking... FWIW - Why someone would want to leave that tyoe of gig, in my case, no set schedule and being on call 351/24/7 is never a fun gig (Having a day off but not knowing until 6pm of the same day is not a day off) I'll take a schedule anyday - even reserve (for a little while anyway ;)) At least I can plan the kids B-day party and know I'll be there! |
Not sure why this guy wants to leave but Im leaving a similar job because
Corp.Flying SUCKS!!!!!!! |

Corp.Flying SUCKS!!!!!!! Is it really that bad? I was always kind of envious of you guys and the stuff you do... cool new jets, no TSA, small private airstrips/terminals, going to small airports no one ever heard about... now that seems like some fun flying. I guess if you have a crappy corp. job, it would suck.... but a good gig always seemed like a great deal. 73 admiring from the other side of the airport ;) |
Look at skybus, great scheds, low pay, would hire you with your time if you fit the profile.
