What is it to you? People can do what they like. If you don't like or understand it, then that's your problem, not theirs.

 

I wouldn't apply unless you at least sorta consider going there. The reason being.... if you turn them down, you very likely won't get another chance with them. Who knows, at some point in the future you actually may want to try to get that job. But if you've already burned that bridge, its no longer an option.

 

Well then, I guess I am not doing it right then. I have applied to Eagle, XJT, Republic, Jetblue, Alaska, and Air Wisconsin... Of those I have interviewed at Eagle and Expressjet, have and interview set up at Republic and I am trying to set up one with Air Wisconsin. So of those XJT put me in the pool and I am waiting for a formal offer from Eagle. So with your logic, I am just suppose to go to one interview. Wait it out, only for a company to say no, or better yet wait in the pool and pass up other opportunities. So with my logic, I have some options, I know which ones I ultimately want to go to and if they offer me a position I can politely decline an interview. And if they do not over a job, I can still interview with the next company. When you go to a job fair that you pay $150 to go to do you only go to one company? Or do you go to them all to see what they have to offer?

 

This is not true, I have taken a job, politely declined an interview and was invited back to interview 2 years later.

 

Is English your second language? I'm just asking because your grammar is good but comprehension is off. Your are talking about airlines that YOU have at least SOME interest in at least going to the interview and maybe even taking the job. The OP had 0 interest in the job and 0 interest in even going to the interview and did not need interview practice. There is a difference. Try re-reading the previous three sentences slowly to further understand the difference between applying to a job you would never accept or attend the interview and applying to a job you might consider. If you don't know what a company has to offer then you could research or go to the interview and ask, not apply and turn down an interview.

Mythbuster- I found it an unusual situation and was curious why the time was invested on the apps but it makes perfect sence now. Crewchief was nice enough to answer.

 

I hope, for everyone's sake, that this is true...

 

If you're drawing unemployment you pretty much have to apply to those jobs. I think we were required to apply to two jobs per week and show a log on request.

 

Just seeing that there are people on here with 10,000tt applying at Eagle should tell all you guys looking to get into this career how big a mistake you're making... No matter what the people at your flight school are telling you... There will be no pilot shortage..

3000+ people just applied to Jetblue for 150-200 jobs... I'm not gonna even get into the numbers for Spirit and Virgin. I cant wait to see what the numbers are for Delta when they open their window for 150 jobs..

 

Todhog,

What type of time do you have? 7,000 TPIC in what type of aircraft? Just curious how you don't meet mins for a regional.
