What airline has called you back lately?
I'm curious to see a progressive trend in the industry as the new rules are implemented and retirements begin. It'll be iteresting to compare to 3 years from now. So please share the following if you've been applying for jobs. Regionals or Majors is fine.
Your flight times total? Multi total? Turbine PIC total?
Degree?
Internal recommendations?
Which airline? Did you get the job?

I don't think the regionals hire to many high time pilots for some reason. Had a few friends apply to a couple of regionals and none of them got called, each had around 4,000 hours with most of it PIC turbine time. They were just sick of flying charter and wanted something with a schedule, even though it was a paycut. And i believe to get hired at southwest you need a shuttle landing or two.

TSA? Really? You have to try to not get a call form them. 3 guys in a previous class didn't even finish their AirlineApps forms and got job offers... Did you fill out the Addendum for TSA?
