Hard to say for sure, but there's a new hire in MAZ for the summer, and the next most junior guy is a 03/26/12 hire who is based in EIS. If they are holding that base now, they will most likely be able to hold the region year round...

How much time do you have? I know for me, it took almost six months to hear back from them, then I spent another year in the hiring pool after that... Just keep checking in with them if you can. I think it's probly just one guy running the recruiting office, unless GS is still helping out with that, so be patient!

But, who wants to be in the Caribbean in the summer? It's pretty hot down there. It's a lot nicer in New England.

I had sent my application and resume to Cape Air repeatedly and I didn't hear so much as an acknowledgement that they received it over the course of 1.5 years. I was finally able to land an interview with them this past June because I was introduced to one of their pilots who walked my stuff in for me. I was hired into a pilot pool and said to expect a class date sometime in September.

It seems that Cape won't really look at you unless you have close to 1,500TT and at the very least your ATP written done, if not your ATP certificate already. Either that or it may be helpful to know someone...

Interesting, thanks. I have the written and have avoided taking the ride only in hopes that I could get someone else to pick up the tab.

Company word is we're fully staffed for the time being. Makes sense they'd have a pool.

FINALLY got the call. Just had the phone interview, and got the face to face scheduled as well. So ecstatic! Any advice for the face to face?

Congrats! Maybe someone who's more recent than me can chime in, but for me (in 2010) I just sat down with the 402 Chief Pilot and just talked. There may have been one or two vanilla HR questions thrown in, but I think it's more just to see if you are a nice guy or not.
