I’m not trying to be a jerk but honestly you need to go to wherever will give you a job and stick it out accident incident and behavior problem free. Once you’ve re-established a positive work history in aviation you might have a shot at somewhere more desirable. Airlines are desperate right now but you can’t expect to have your pick with the history you have.

Which regional was this? You’ll probably have to go down to the bottom feeders like Mesa and Gojet. They won’t care about your vehicle history or anything else that doesn’t legally disqualify you.

Lol. Mesa. Mesa cares. Which is kinda funny, IMO.
I am sorry, but I have zero empathy for you. You are not some one that truly cares about being a pilot. If you were, you would of sucked it up, lived with your initial choice, made the best of it, and conducted your life in such a way that wouldn't scare off potential employers. Nearly everyone else on this forum pretty much conducted their life to make this career work for them, and you keep leaving employers over quite frankly, stupid reasons. |

Finally, some sort of advice. Thanks.

Of course they care, they have over 1200 pilots and if any one of them crashes an airplane, it could mean the other 1199 are out of a job.

Best of luck going forward. I know Air Wisconsin has been rolling the dice on a few new hires that got overlooked elsewhere, as long as they have a good attitude. Might be worth an app.

Planning ahead would have meant interviewing six months ahead of your time of availability and - if you found someone insane enough to hire someone with only 1800 TT, who is non-current, who destroys rental cars for a living and quits regional's for trivial reasons, who was actually desperate enough to offer you a CJO - you could have accepted the offer and deferred until the new year. Planning ahead is NOT delaying interviewing until November when your actual availability is going to be 1 January. Even if you did find an HR department willing to take a $45 -50k gamble on you, they almost certainly won't have a class opening for you before March and likely even later. I probably shouldn't ask, but have you even gotten a Class 1 physical yet? Do you actually HAVE an ATP, or are you planning on getting that too AFTER you're hired on? Which would generally mean even more unpaid lead time before you start getting paid training. |

Much, much faster to get a class date. 2-3 weeks from CJO seems to be the norm. I think Compass is the only exception to this. I 100% agree with you though, delaying interviews is a horrible strategy. |
