Good point. I got a buddy (retired USN) with a ton of hours and the majors won't touch him. Nothing. My best guess is because he wrecked an airplane while instructing a student and the eval board put him at fault. However, seeing as military flight records are usually sealed I am not sure if he ever disclosed this. But if he did.....probably sunk his chances.

CODs4ever and PotatoChip,
Thank you for the quick and thoughtful replies. As for the question about hiding anything...not at all. I did have a busted check ride in UPT (mid-phase in T-37s) and I explained that in detail in the questionaires. So that would be the only unsavory item in my apps. No FAA violations or busted checks. The only other thing I can think of is that did let my First Class medical lapse about 2 months ago. Having just moved and being on reserve has made finding an AME a challenge. I finally got ahold of one who has to get back to me with an appointment time.
Once again, thanks for the replies and the sanity check. PotatoChip...good point on the retirement check but it turned out to be a lot less than I thought it was going to be

Peoloto and PotatoChip,
You are absolutely correct...I just got independent confirmation that the computer will filter out any application with a First Class medical past 6-months old for the over 40 crowd. So, that means none of my apps have made it through since I updated my 121 experience either. I will get it done asap. Thanks again!

Actually you don't "have to" go to a job fair. If you're pushing very button you can, and checking very box you can, job fairs is on the list.
121 is a good addition to your resume. Like you said in a diffferent post, you're learning and gaining experience. You'll be better from the experience. That's part of your professional developement as you transition from mil to civ flying. Some of it's just different.

It's been a while since I flew Part 121 but don't you need to keep your first class current while employed as a Part 121 pilot? I renew mine every 6 months strictly for the applications as I fly Part 91 only. Once you get a new date in the system, with your recent currency in 121 ops I am betting you'll get some invites even prior to WAI.
