I've been reading all these new-hire threads lately, as I've got a deployed buddy trying to get hired and I like to send him links to good info.

WARich, I've noticed you in about 4 threads now... and I've got to say, every time it hasn't been a good notice. I see you're trying to get hired. Word of advice... I've seen you complain and post generally negative comments all over here now. Your personality is coming through again and again in these threads and it's a negative impression--that may not be you in real life, but you need to wise up man. I didn't post or say or think a single negative thing until 1 month after my probation year was up. I recommend you take a step back, decide if you want to pass an interview, and stop with the current attitude--it WILL come through to an interview panel.

Patience and optimism, tempered with a little bit of realism and common sense. Well said sir. Its very easy to feel frustrated about not being hired, but definitely the key is knowing that the time will eventually come. No point in blowing the chance to interview from a few frustrated posts on APC. However, do hiring boards actually look at these forums? I would think that's a lot of information to comb through...

Is it worth the risk?

Welcome aboard. You're joining an awesome pilot group that's got your back. I remember the "you're hired" letter so well... Never held a winning lottery ticket per se, but that letter was the closest thing. (We still got letters back then!) it's framed on my wall to this day.

The medical will be a breeze.

See ya on campus! Any questions, holla at me via PM.

Good point. Bad manners anywhere is never worth the risk. The challenge comes from reminding ones self that when posting online or writing an email, emotional responses have to be deliberately avoided. I think we've all experienced the angry email that we later regretted sending.
