I have 2 relatives at Xjet (one a captain and other f/o) and 2 friends at AE (both f/o) and all told me to put my resume in, although I only have about 450TT and 15 Multi.
Its good to hear that they are reassure for me to do this, but at the same time it basically goes against the minimums for multi and TT.
1 - do they even look at resumes without the minimum times
and
2 - Is there any truth in this or are they just telling me the glass is half full.
**also, how important/influencial is having a relative submit a LOR and a phone call to HR or whoever she sends it too.
Thanks,
the chief forever

U need to take the CRJ trasition course at ATP first then you take the CRJ to ERJ 135 transition course at UND, then u gotta take 145 LR differences training ERAU, then XTJ trains U for Aquafresh paint job XR Differences training. My friend did it he said it was worth the 35K

You laugh, but many people fail the aquafresh-paint job differences training at X-Jet and are ruined for life. They can't remember the key differences for the test, and upon failing are forced to drop out of the program for the fast-food industry. However the latter has been shown to help remedy slowness, and many reapply and are able to pass differences training the second time. X-Jet training recognizes the problem and has begun testing of pc-based training aids that introduce candidates to generic toothpaste, soap and shampoo schemes before moving on to the aquafresh paint scheme. Results are encouraging. Just kidding... got a few minutes to kill.

A bit of a misconception. I never took one, never thought I needed it, but I was asked along with a few friends to evaluate the curriculum for a particular program, and as stated above, the training is a very water down version of what you will get in the 121 training environment.
Of course it should be good info to get a head start on and eleviate some intensity, but the airlines really like it on a resume? Just deciding if I should do it or not and just wait to build the time without it. Thanks!

As far as what anyone has seen at their respective regionals, from an HR or hiring chief pilot perspective during interviews, do you think that it is a positive resume builder? Do you think that they want u to have some sort of transition or is it a selling tool for these academies "reduced min reqs" agreements?

I talked to a really nice gal, the other day that just got through training, and she said that the course really helped her. I personally think that our training program here at XJT is good enough for all types of backgrounds; I've seen guys with multi commercial and the bare minimums do as well as 121 guys....the key is having a good attitude and taking things seriously during training. In my humble opinion transition courses are a nice complement to the preparation process, but nothing more.
