But our rate of growth over the next year should get everyone where they want to be.

I've been flying out of SQL for 5 years, 1000h with 30PIC in King Air 90 and 15 SIC in a Sabreliner, applied two months ago and haven't heard anything...not sure if location is currently the issue.

Best to apply apply apply! Sometimes it takes more than once. I think you'd be a shoe in based on mins (need more NorCal peeps) but sometimes persistence is king! If you can find an internal req somehow that will help tremendously.

I couldn't agree more. Its true with any job. You keep applying and your resume keeps ending up on the top of the pile. If you don't keep applying then your resume falls to the bottom of the pile as its replaced by other people who keep applying. Plus the company knows that you want the job if you keep applying. If I were you, I'd update the hours on my resume every week or two and then update my application.

Internal recs are very very valuable.

Ironically since my original comment I was able to gain a quality internal rec. Will see what happens!

I applied once a week for 2-3 months before I got called. 4,000 hours, 3500 turbine. Just keep applying.

Haha not sure what you mean by that. I was just saying that sometimes the squeaky wheel does in fact get the grease.

Haha I just mean that before you said that, everyone was asking what the secret was to getting an interview. But once you said it, no one has responded to the thread besides the two of us.
