Wow - That doesn't sound too encouraging at all for a guy like me with ~2300 turbine time. I still have ~2 yrs until retirement but on staff duty the last few years so no more military flight time for me.

Did you only apply with US Airways?

You need to start getting current, right now.

Applied. Was not invited to interview. Got a "thanks but no thanks" email last night.

For frame of reference, I worked at USAir from Jan 99 to Mar 02 as a PIT DC9 FO and later PIT 737-3/4 FO. Resigned in 07 when I couldn't accept the final recall when it came (we had a newborn at home).

Disappointing.

I have applied to most all the Majors. I don't want to be discouraging. I think once you've met the mins your number of hours starts to be less of a factor. Some of our guys have gotten interviews with far less hours than I have. With the number of apps in the que I think it's just a challenge to get pulled out of the pile. I am very lucky to have been able to fly up to retirement.

I hope you can find a way to keep some flying currency. Any chance you could use VA for some flight training?

I think better days are coming soon. Maybe in 2 years you'll be right in the big wave!

I applied in the May window...I have no messages attached that I can tell (under review, etc). Fwiw, 121 check airman...5000-7000TT, 3000-5000 turbine, 2000-4000 TPIC. Busted a pt 61 ride 10+ years ago and clean since. No initial program the last 5 years. Hoping for good news, not expecting though.

Very odd I haven't received an email yet. Probably just hang gotten to my app yet.
I have four apps on file, 1 from Oct, 1 from Jan (same req Id as the one in Oct), 1 from Feb and 1 from April. I noticed the latest req Ids is listed as being posted on 5/3, but mine shows 4/30.
Weird.

Can't you talk to an old chief pilot and have them put you in the next new hire class?

They must have sent out a wave of rejection emails yesterday as I received one too.

Thanks for the advice - My plan is start flying next month to get current and log about 100-150 hrs and a ton of approaches. Just did my CFI/CFII/MEI in Feb. Studying for my ATP now.
