My secret was.... I can call myself a Native American. I used to decline to say what my ethnicity is (I don't believe that should enter into the equation-I'm qualified or I am not). But, in desperation, I started claiming my 1/8 status as a Native and lo and behold I started getting interview offers from several companies. Maybe it was timing or luck, but the previous few months I got nothing. You decide.

I bet if they dropped the minimums to 250/25 and instituted PFT they could fill every class. With inflation, I would be willing to wager the companies could get 20k out of folks and there would be a line.

Since we are are self declaring, and no one has given me any guidance, I used my best judgment. It isn't like they can come back and say I lied. If they DO, I'll be looking for a lawyer ASAP since those declaration forms are NOT supposed to be used for eligibility.

I'm not positive, but I think it depends on the state where you reside. I'm a registered member of the tribe here, so I have documentation if someone were to ask.

That doesn't mean that anyone with 250/25 would make it through training. Getting a commercial certificate and then making it through a 121 training program and onto the line are two vastly different animals.
Not everyone hired these days is making it through training.

Which is weird because back when the mass hiring was going on low time people were making it through training. Yes I'm sure some washed out, but not compared to now. So what's changed?
