On a change of venue, the guy I flew with today was speaking to his pal whom had just been interviewed and has a class date.
Seems my guy with his 138 hours of time in the aircraft and no connections other than being a new hire with all the enthusiasm that entails walked in his pal's resume'.
He walked it in by camping out in the parking lot at Miramar and "accidentally" asking a women named "Sandy" from HR at 4:56 pm if she knew a women named "Sandy".
Then the ensuing pitch and the resume' for his pal.
Apparently, Sandy was flattered by this rather brusque' approach. (for SkyBolt Brusque' is a Texan term for "all hat and no cattle"). Maybe French but apparently I'm a Retard as I'm told daily.
That is a good friend.
It's a great story. Boots on the ground and friendship can still win over the evil doer's on the these damn "internets".
Welcome aboard new guy!

Quick Question
Are the "Requirements" listed on Spirits page set in stone? I meet every requirement except the 4000 TT. I have 3300 TT but I work for a company that flies me 300 hours a year so that would take a while. I am curious what times people are actually getting hired with. Also, is an internal rec. still an unofficial requirement?
Thanks,

I guess I'm going to have to start hanging out downstairs at the "Metropolitan" bar. Are you guys still staying there? LOL

I forgot which hotel has the Metropolitan bar but if it makes you feel any better our VP of Flight Ops had a pizza lunch for everyone in corporate today and affirmed 30 more planes in the next 5 years with ongoing hiring. Don't give up.
