I am wondering the secret as well. I don't want to be annoying, but I keep sending my resume to the CP and hiring email, but no reply.
I hear it's a great gig, and I would love to have the opportunity.

I had two internal recs and it took me a long time to get hired. I think it took 3 months to get a call and about a month from initial contact. Just keep sending the resume. The DO is extremely busy and handles the hiring directly.

I've been sending resumes for a year and a half or so, it was a nice surprise to listen to the voicemail this afternoon.
I'm currently flying 121, but was prior 91/135. 2000TT for a Hawker 800 position, I am not typed.
Dumont would be a good fit, everyone I know there seems happy, and there's a great group of pilots with a seemingly nice schedule.

^ I was offered a job by talon earlier this year, and turned it down. The people I spoke to at the company were great, and candid in their answers. I ended up turning the job down because I've heard from the pilots that I talked to that 22 day months were normal, with them calling on your days off for extra flying. I love flying, but there's no room for work/life balance there. I get the impression that the guys are great to work with and fly with, but the company works you to death.
