For those of you who applied via AirlineApps, how long did it take from the time you published your app to the time they called you for an interview? Just curious, published my app and have heard of people with less time and experience being called. Attributing it too they had their apps in before mine..

If I'd stayed at my first airline I'd have been left seat much sooner and probably not still shy of the requirements of many carriers, some 18 years after I started in this industry and "made it" only to start over (repeatedly) after 9/11.
Take a longer view is all I'm saying. Meeting short term wants can be detrimental to your career.

Not sure I follow that? My point was: if he wants to move to a legacy type carrier then he shouldn't change airlines to one at which he will not log PIC for many years. He'd likely be better off just moving or sticking it out at his current airline 'til he's got the requisite 1000+ turbine PIC. Then he could change for domicile reasons if he really wants to that badly.

I appreciate the advice, however I'm not to terribly concerned about the PIC requirements right now. I live in Chicago but work for Piedmont. I was living in base at one point and QOL wasn't bad, had a line good days off, but was forced into another base and decided to move to Chicago which is where I will likely live for a while due to family reasons. I get to spend a whopping 5 to 6 nights a month at home commuting for reserve at a company that has no foreseeable future beyond today, so at this point in my life I would rather sit reserve in Chicago and enjoy what time I do have with loved ones, that is unless you know something about Eagle I don't. Or are you just one of the 15,000 pilots besides myself and every friend I have who applied for the job who is hopping that I don't get it so they can?
