Update from the school house. 767 NEW hire class starts on Monday with 2 more over the next 3 months, and 1 777 class in late October. FA classes running now with 2 more planned. 777 upgrade class will be finished by the end of September with more planned as new hire training slows down at the end of the year.

Do you happen to know if these classes are already full or if interview invites will go out for them still? Thanks for the info!

That could be the problem.
if they have 50 people with time on type, they often trump the guys with plenty of total time.

And total time makes a better candidate?

It's all relative - everyone has to start somewhere and you don't know what you don't know; I've seen Cessna and Navajo pilots become outstanding jet drivers - often surpassing the guys with "Boeing Time" in the same class.

Comes down to the individual; trying to diagnose why someone doesn't get a call from any ("larger") airline on an online forum is somewhat pointless anyway.

I hear you. I also think having experience managing VNAV and experience managing the mass of a heavy jet are very valuable. Those can be offset by a good instructor though. There are some great boing instructors out there. Best of luck for everyone. I feel like the next few years will be good ones for professional pilots.
