Met with BK at a job fair right before his retirement, nothing. It’s definitely frustrating! I love the role of LCA duties for sure, but it’s definitely not the gold it used to be I guess. Specifically, it doesn’t bring about that coveted invite we all think it will! I’m still hopeful, but didn’t even get an invite to the September fair and I quite literally update my AirlineApps and addendum sections after every trip... here’s to hoping!

Yes. Depending on for whom.

That’s a lot of time for a part 91 Corporate guy. I can see why you’d be looking!

Some of the legacy carriers listened and the rate of LCA hiring slowed down quite a bit. Suddenly having an LCA was almost a “bad” thing depending on what airline you were targeting. Southwest however pressed ahead and kept taking LCAs no matter what.
