I am hoping for any chance to fly for someone that will give me an opportunity to be employed. What the best way to get my name recognized by them so that I have a higher chance of being called for an interview?
Thanks

Interviewed and received an offer in late January. 2 year training contract with a $30,000 buyout, it is prorated the last 6 months of employment. Commuting IS an option, however you are pretty much short call reserve anywhere from 6-12 days in MKE with a 1 hour call out followed by 3-5 hard days off, they want wheels up within an hour of notification. FRE does pay for a hotel for those 6-12 days. Ended up turning it down due to the QOL cut I would take with that commuting policy. Pay seemed very good for a lower time pilot wanting turbine multi time (around 65k/yr). I got offered at about 820TT with only 5.9ME. My offer was into the SAAB 2000 or EMB-120. They did not let you know which of the two you would be on. It seemed to be, take the offer then they tell you which metal you'll be flying. SAAB flying is slow in summer but they said they hope to pick up this year. Sounds like the SAAB has a better QOL with destinations and schedule. EMB-120 sounded like it does a lot of night, last minute freight runs to the North Dakota area and all over. Interview was straightforward with HR followed by technical. Received an offer less than 24hr later.
