This.

Keep updating, networking, and soliciting recs until the phone rings. I know of guys that had over two dozen internal recs that finally got the call.

There are a lot of qualified folks you're competing against. Qualified with a couple of recs is probably above the curve, but that curve is still 10-12k deep.

Any corporate guys getting calls? I've done 121, 135, and 91. I fly 2 types for a large company. Things were great but are changing rapidly and looks like they will be forcing me to move soon and I DONT want to relocate my young kids to where they are moving us. I used to fly for a United Express carrier (Air Wisconsin) but was only there for 3 years. Does having experience in flying UAL pax carry any weight or is that pool already saturated?

I'm in class now and was told no calls/interviews until the second quarter of 2014. Apparently there are around 200 in the pool and they don't want much more than that. Of course, its always subject to change. Good luck!

Thanks for the words--is the tone optimistic for future hiring?

Cheers
