You remind me of an instructor I once knew from Prescott. He was fond of Eagles too. Thanks for the welcome to APC...Originally Posted by Hacker15e
Public service announcement: The term is "gouge", and it is its own plural (like deer).When referencing material that helps one study for a test or interview, there is no such thing as "gouges".

I appreciate all the replies guys. I've been out of flying for a couple years and I'm looking to just get back into it. I've done well for myself in my current job but feel as if somethings missing. That if I don't pursue my first love that I'll have regrets. With that being said it's nerve racking putting myself back out there in terms of applying etc.

Second, because you mentioned that you had been out for a few years, get back into the books! ATP study guides and the Instrument Flying Handbook. I don't believe any of the questions you'll get on any of the interviews you'll be invited to will be overly difficult but be sure you're prepared with the knowledge about the flying you'll be doing (I'm not referring to the aircraft the company flies, they don't expect you'll know much about that).
Third, read gouge and try and get in contact with people that work at the airlines you're targeting. You will know which ones are your first, second and so on choices. Be sure to do your homework on them. And I completely agree with WIPilot, don't sell yourself short and apply anyway; let the airline make the decision to call or not but don't stop working on your skill set and qualifications.
Lastly, if you're interested in Piedmont let me know. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about us and point your resume in the right direction.
Good Luck!

Actually Piedmont is one of my choices. I live in NW Ohio, so something out of DTW, DAY, CLE, or Columbus is preferred but I don't think the commute to PHY wouldn't be too bad. Applications for Piedmont are submitted through Airlinepilotapps?
I plan on continuing to fly and have bought study material for Instrument IPC and ATP.

This is something me and my wife have discussed greatly and she supports the decision I make. I feel as if I have reached the limit of where I can go in retail and would be doing myself a disservice if I don't pursue the career I had originally wanted to do. Anyway, retail in of itself is not a long term career goal of mine. I appreciate your input though.Originally Posted by minimwage4

Wasn't directed at you, specifically, and certainly had nothing to do with a "welcome" to this forum...just something I've seen on APC and I occasionally insert a PSA as a reminder.Originally Posted by MattyIce

Take a look at endeavor. Highest pay and guaranteed movement with guys going to DL.... And a DTW base that goes junior. Pm me if you have questions...
While others tell you to go into a quick upgrade path, your times prevent that for a little while, so you need time first, endeavor pays the best for that checkbox.

That's correct, apply through Airlineapps. Although, if you're interested, I can pass your app along to one of our recruiters. They do the interviews directly. Send me a private message if you want to go that way. Sounds like you're on the right track with your prep work!Originally Posted by rbsjr22
