Getting hired..

Yea man, don't give up. Look at what Don went through. There are a lot of us on the street right now, but keep your head up. If I hear of anything I'll send it your way. Have you tried Comair yet?

The problem with internet applications is that everyone emails an app or resume in at every job they find, whether they are qualified or not, and whether they are interested or not. This results in the company's inbox being jammed with resumes from 400 hour pilots with 50 hours in a CRJ thinking they just might get called for that 747 job that requires more in type than they have total time. What I have found works best is FedExing a hard copy of your resume and cover letter to the person in HR or chief pilot. Then a follow up call the day after you see the package arrived. Since I have been using this method, I get more phone calls. I have had a couple chief pilots tell me they appreciated my method, and they preferred "the old fashion" way. That way they can put their hands the resume, and not have to sort through a full inbox. One CP told me he stopped looking at his email inbox altogether, and only responds to hand-mailed resumes since it was easier on him. Good luck in your search!

Hey CE750 are you just looking at 121. I interviewed with Travel Management Company out of Elkhart In. They are A 135 operator but you work a set schedule base at home and start pay isnt bad. flying new equipment. Dont know your need as far as pay is concerned. I was told they have hired several recently released pilots from operators the quit flying. Their website is tmcjets.com Just a thought

The email I got back from Rishworth said that I would have to buy my own type rating. And that was BEFORE being screened for the job.
Also, Rishworth said my FRJ 328 time didn't count because it was not a "commercial jet time". I explained to them the capacity in which I flew it. They then responded that it they couldn't count it because it was a turbo prop and not a turbo jet. I sent them pictures. They THEN sent me the app.
