Don't know if that'll cut it. My buddy was riding jumpseat next to a FedEx new hire out of IAH the other night. He is a former astronaut who has 3 missions under his belt. 
True story, but I keed! I'm sure you're competitive. Good luck.

I'd like to know what's so secret about "scorch".

There was a JetBlue guy in class back in the summer. But he had KC-10 time as well.

In the '90s I heard about a few strange hiring schemes. UAL hostile interview. DAL psych doc with rocking chair. FDX meet and greet, unless you knew someone in management. SWA hiring 20-30% of interviewed. The ironman physicals. Back then pilots went to multiple interviews and, for many, only one or two offered them a job. Not one stood out as offering a job to most of the highly qualified candidates I knew.
While it matters to us, hiring departments only see a problem when they can't fill the pool or training starts failing out newhires.

Back when I was hired at a major supplemental the VP of flight ops took me out to lunch and we talked about hookers and Irish bars around the world. I was offered the job on the spot! Flying ability was already known. Being able to spend 2-3 weeks together was known after lunch.
That is how an interview should be! None of this absolute ridiculous nonsense that plagues this industry today.

Hey Guys. Just a quick question about the US residency requirement. I was furloughed and have been working overseas for the past 3 years. I have a home in the States and come back on rotation every few months. I am not eligible for a foreign tax exemption as I spend more than 30 days a year in the US. Am I disqualified?
