This is the BEST post in years regarding the hostage taking HR has accomplished with pilot hiring. That's why I got into this line of work; Im a technical, attention to detail guy, not a baby kissing, hand shaker. Well said. After years in this line of work, Im perplexed at former colleagues that are getting hired and others that are being passed over.

Yes, it's frustrating when you see a resume that is significantly weaker than their peers. But if you actually look at the resumes, which many post on apc, the maybe so-so pilot resume but strong 'other' resume areas is actually a distinct minority. The majority of guys have very strong resumes. Avg AA newhire was 5500+ TT and someone posted UA's(?) avg TT and it was even higher.

The DL averages for both flight time and age are still much higher time/older than the stereotypes would have you believe. Even with the very rare "special cases" the averages are still old/high. OTS pilots have literally never had a better chance than right now with all the hiring. But the whole industry can't get on in the first year of the wave.

Not yet. I was told to expect July 7 or 14. Apparently there is a new process where you sign up online for class. I was told that the person who sends out the email was out for a few days and I should expect an email early this week with more details.

Looks like we might be classmates. Same here.
Also, military, instructor/evaluator and currently Chief of Safety. Still in though. Planning on putting in the retirement paperwork as soon as I get the class dates.
