I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but what is it with these "do you guys think I have a chance" questions? It is not just here on the AE Thread, but every hiring thread. If you meet or exceed the airline minimums requirements you are good to go. After that it all comes down to internal recommendations, who you know and a little luck of getting a call. Nobody knows what HR is really looking for, even though some people might claim they do. They don't. But since you've asked, you meet AE requirements, so yes you do have a chance.

Sorry, I'm not trying to reenact every other thread, I was simply asking if anyone has received a call for an interview that had around about the same qualifications that I do.

now that you have applied, all you can do is wait for a call like everyone else. Don't get discouraged if the call does not come immediately, there are others out there with experience that surpass yours and still have not received a call. hang in there. good luck.

What attitude man? Trying to figure out how long it would take to get a base of my choice because I'm not willing to commute for reserve for a long period offended you? Been there, done that and promised myself that I wouldn't do it again unless there was a small chance of being based near home. If you can deal with that more power to you.

I won't accept the offer because you said so. Thanks for telling what's best for me. How could I go on without your expertise?

When I was in ORD the bottom guys did a good bit of flying, the middle guys did very little and the top guys did as much or as little as they wanted to.
