I don't mean to be a pre-madonna, but my strong attraction to these two regional purely have to do with the convenience of being able to live at home. I'm a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, thus my screename, so I'm used to moving around, however living at home affords me the benifit of not having any bills to pay. Ideally, I'd like to stay that way. Also, although I'm not married, I'm in a committed relationship of 8 years. So that ties me down too. That being said, I'm open to commuting for another regional, I just don't know who.

I do have 3 speeding tickets one of which was in excess of 20 MPH, all received several years ago when I was in college.

Lastly, I've chosen my references carefully. I don't believe that any of them have been contacted, b/c I'm pretty sure they would tell me. I WILL be taking letters of recommendation to my next interview. I believe that would've been helpful.

The expiration date shouldn't matter as long as he gets hired at a 121 carrier relatively soon.

I think you mean prima donna. Pre-madonna was the 60's....

Sorry couldn't resist.

RPCV,

If you don't mind me asking...where are you trying to get hired?

I knew something didn't seem right.

RAH and AWAC.

I bet I can guess at least one place if he says he has 1000/100 and was "holding out".

Ooh, I was right! RAH was one of my guesses!

I've never interviewed for a pilot position however, interviewing is interviewing. A couple of things:

• Treat it (the interview) as if you were having a conversation w/ur parents. They are an authoritative figure and in some aspects so is the hiring board. Remember it's a casual conversation.

• Regular eye contact with everyone. Look down occasionally.

• Relax. Your body language speaks volumes.

• Be confident and determined. "See" yourself saying, "Yes, I accept your offer of employment."

Hope this helps.

Blue skies.

I would look into your interview prep, just like some of the others have said. I just interviewed and was hired at RAH. The interview was just as described in the gouges. If you weren't prepared for what you encountered at the interview, it would be a little overwhelming to just go in there cold.

I also know what you are going through mentally. I did not get hired at my first choice, and experienced all of the self doubt and anger that you have been going through. Stay current, keep the good attitude up, and apply what you've learned to the next set of interviews.
