It happened. The carrier I least expected to invite me for an interview, invited me!
Don’t get me wrong, I kept updating all apps every two weeks. Networked a ton. Kept in touch with majority of my buddies that moved on. I was very fortunate that all offered to help my career. Truly grateful! Attended OBAP and an expo. Kept my attitude up and just enjoyed everyday I sat my butt down on the pilots seat.
Biggest thing to overcome was watching my peers get the invite and asking why I hadn’t gotten one. It was tough and a killer so I forced myself to change and just enjoy the ride.
I’m extremely excited to be given an opportunity to interview. Now it’s up to me to earn a cjo.
Moral of the story, don’t be that pilot with a shi**y attitude. Have patience, it is coming!
