Yeah, that's ACTUALLY at the airport in terminal C. Or used to be. |
You have the right attitude, but it doesn't work that way at a big airline. Try meeting with a chief pilot, assistant chief, training instructor/manager, etc. Make some calls; tell them you are interested in Express and will be in the area. Try to get an appointment to talk to someone about a job there. Get shown around and learn about the company. I think they call it an "informational interview"; you interview the employer to learn about the company and decide if you want to work there. It can't hurt, unless you make yourself look bad in the process. That's up to you. Good luck.

The main thing with ExpressJet like other airlines is having a recommendation from anther XJT pilot. I waited like three months and didn't hear anything. Then one of my friends recommended me and I got the email a week later. Who knows...but it is an awesome company so far.

Good point Otto. Toilet you should attempt this. Don't let the jealous of others kill your motivation. The worst that could happens is them saying they can not see you at that time. |

I'm glad you know how much time I have in my logbook. Thanks for your kind encouragement...man.
Careerpilot what is the lowest time I should wait to send my resume. I'm currently working in building my time. I'm standing at TT390 & MT 27 with a 4-years B.S degree in Aeronautical Science. Eagle is the regional I will like to fly for. Thanks for any advice If any eagle pilot needs extra $500 you can refer me |

I think quite the opposite is true. Toilet Duck has already expressed that he has been aggresive with his job hunting in the past. Luck is where oppurtunity meets preperation. He is going out of his way to try and get in with express. If he wanted to just be handed something he'd probably sit at home like everybody else waiting for their number to be called.
Either way its pretty ignorant to assume that much about somebody based on an ananymous forum. - Don't be too pushy or obnoxious or you'll get blacklisted. - Be prepared for a full interview, just in case they ask you a few random questions. |

I agree with this. I have NEVER gotten a job in aviation by waiting for the phone to ring (might work with mesa or eagle nowdays). TD, the odds of you actually getting an interview on the spot are slim, but if you manage to get some face-time with a recruiter, interviewer, or CP (like Otto said) that might put your resume at the top of the stack.
