I really believe the convention is what set me up so if you haven’t been to one yet I’d sign up.

Congrats!!! Very nice. I’ve been to every convention (well probably 75% of them) in the last 2 years. And have a Chief pilot recommendation. Do you mind if I ask your stats? I don’t have TPIC (SWA guy). Wonder if that’s what preventing me from getting a call.

Thanks dude! Sure:
Total: 5000
121 TPIC: 3000
Also LCA, and non-aviation prior service. One thing that I thought was interesting everyone interviewing had some form of military background, but only a couple were aviators. Good luck!

Change that 3000 tpic to 1000 or more and this sounds like average numbers (however accurately an average could be guessed) prior to the flood gates of the past few years. I think this would be a fairly accurate profile for the current hiring climate.

Update constantly, you’ll get your chance. Experience in type we fly is highly beneficial, as well as being vetted by a major training program. Good luck

Ive got some buddies at SWA too. I totally understand your situation. I will add in that the head of hiring has publicly stated recently that not having any TPIC does make you uncompetitive, at least in today’s environment. If Boeing/the economy gets their act together, you may see the standard lowered. 6,000-8,000TT and 1,600TPIC is the sweet spot for now. (Still people being hired less and more)

That being said, you’re doing the right things by keeping it updated and attending events. They only have to say yes once!

TPIC seems to be a big emphasis right now, but the other massive emphasis has been on hiring from our competition. So at least you have that working for you!

thanks both. We’ll see what the future holds. Trying to volunteer as much as possible and boost up the app.
