Quick question for the group.

I'm currently out on LOA from Mesa for about a year , but I'm working as sim instructor at ATP/Higher Power. I do about 80 hours of instruction in the sim a month and I recently got typed in the 737 about 3 months ago. I'm looking to get back but I really can't afford to go back to Mesa at this point. So my question is, yes, I haven't physically flown an airplane in about 12 months, but I've been actively teaching in the 737 for the past 3 month and prior
To that the EMB and the CRJ for 9 months. Do I need to go back to actively flying for a bit to be competitive for a call at Spirit?

Quals are:

4700 TT
2600 TURBINE 121
0 TPIC
EMB 145, CL65, B737NG
Bachelors, some Masters classes

Default DFW base

I know time frame to be able to hold a base is always changing, Dfw at one time was 8 months. Currently how long is it?

As you said its fluid and always changing but in the latest bid award it looks like the most junior DFW is a mid-October 2016 hire.

I upgraded and am now an LCA.

I am waiting for greener pastures.

As I have been told many times on this forum do your research to find where I work.

I can never figure out what places are looking for in crews. I keep hearing about low time guys getting on and even they don't know how they did it. Been to a job fair spoke briefly with a recruiter, could tell he didn't want to be there so not sure if that effected anything. 5600TT 4500Turbin 700TPIC . Check the website and reapply when there is a new job code. The only thing I can figure is that I don't have an internal recommendation.

Do I need to jump seat around to beg for one?

Also college educated? Could be they see you as a flight risk. The most important question you answer at your next job fair/ interview is "do you have your app in at [insert legacy]? What will you do if they call?"

This. I've heard the attrition numbers YTD and it isn't pretty. My opinion and my opinion only, but if you're qualified for FEDEX, Delta, AA, or United they are going to be really, really suspicious.
