Friend took 5, 7, 7 months from WAI to final interview. Yup, three interviews. Very impressive resume.

Back up the first call to last interview and it was maybe 4-6 months from WAI to initial contact.

John Carr, love the "USUALLY"! You are correct in your statement. Good stuff.

"Usually", airlines at the fairs will score your resume after you speak with them, then take them back to their respective recruiting offices and sort through them. Every airline is different on how they treat their process before, during and after job fairs and the weight they hold.

I've heard of calls going out after fairs ranging from all sorts of time frames.

Funny to see guys with 2000TT hired by majors solely because its military.

When guys at the regionals have 10,000 more hours in a commercial airliner.

I will never understand that.

Not saying it is right, but if you are doing the hiring, you select the person you want usually based on past experiences

Not exactly. They hire the people that interviewed well, conformed to their targeted selection, and think they will be a good fit for their company.

Hence the reason for a broad range of backgrounds.

From a 20+ year retired mil IP/EP/Standeval/NATOPS safety person/10-15 year RJ LCA/10-15 year heavy/ACMI pilot all the way down to the 2000 hour RJ pilot/guar-reserve "baby" with minimum time that was well connected enough to get an interview and whatever lies in between. Although for right here, and right now, the latter is in the minority of ANY new hire class at (insert airline here). Their experience was deemed enough.

Experiences simply get one to the interview. AFTER that, it's on the candidate to sell themselves.
