We all know that having a bust or two doesn't mean you're the worst pilot in the world, in fact, you might be the best. But that's just the way the hiring process is working right now. I think it will most likely change though.

I'm in the same boat with 3. 2 were on orals and for very stupid reasons. My perception is that right now with the media still hot on the regional's trail if anything did happen for any reason and they did hire somebody with 3 busts after the Colgan deal, then it would look really bad. Plus they can afford to be picky. Who knows 1 year from now though when the demand is higher and the applicant pool dries up. I think it will blow over. They had no problem hiring me back before everybody furloughed but this time around it's not so easy. I'll just have to hang out in the 135 world for a little.

Yeah you're right. Look we all need to be honest. The hot ticket now is not having a single bust. They are even asking about stage checks in flight schools! There's a ton of applicants, so they can and are being picky. It's an effective way to reduce applications and screen people.

i haven't busted a single thing... all ratings and 135 rides. Exceed the mins for most regionals hiring now and I havent heard a peep from anyone. Maybe they just dont believe me.

So those in ASA recruiting/HR told my buddy this past week he'd hear one way or another(good or bad) about if he got the job or not by Thursday afternoon at the latest. Well, he never heard a peep and class starts in 2 days.
Good luck to those who DID get a call and made it.

Anyone have any idea how much reserves are crediting on the 200 right now? Trying to figure out what an FNG can expect to make, and how often one could expect to be a home with a 1 leg commute to ATL with plenty of flights home, or IAD with 2 a day.
Thanks!
Thanks!
