What about John? Yeah, Scenic has produced some of the best pilots out there. When you go for the interview - slow down your thinking process and don't act like a CFI on speed that would give his left arm just to fly an old otter. Be straight forward and tell the truth - the guys interviewing you has lots of experince. Good luck!

So true. I was flying with someone who flew there in 2002, asked the same questions. The only wisdom if you go there is, enjoy your time there. When I was there, I was in such a hurry to get my time and leave. All the regionals will be hurting for pilots for years. The grass isn't as green on the regional side of the fence as you might think. Good luck.

This is so frustrating...why can't I get a call from them? People with less time are getting interviews, what do i need to do to get one?

Subtract a bunch of flight time from your logbook?

You think the reason you didn't get hired was because you were overqualified?

No, just saying if you believe people with lower time are getting interviews, just lower the amount of time in your logbook.

Sounds logical...right?

I think the reason that cfii2007 didn't get hired was because of his/her attitude. Your attitude speaks volumes in an interview. HR/Tech/Sim, whatever. If they see that you honestly want to be there, if they see that you have truely prepared for the interview, that you are trainable, and that you aren't interviewing there for it to be a "fall-back" airline, you will get the job.

Yes, these folks that have gotten interviews, or jobs for that matter, have less time then you. So what? They WANT to be there. That is the difference between you and them.

Now for those who haven't been called yet, no worries. They will call eventually. If you know someone in the company that can pop their head into HR, that should speed up the process quite a bit. Good luck to you all. Keep the faith.
