Congrats!!!! Expat as in you flew overseas for a foreign carrier just prior to the CJO or you are a foreign pilot? I suspect it's the former?

Thank you! Definitely not a foreign pilot... my airline collapsed in 2008 so I went overseas.

Aussiedoodle - was the 121 time your current gig? Or a previous job?
Any recent changes, like type ratings, 121 time/job, upgrade?

How much volunteer work scores you those extra points on your application?

It's becoming very obvious that those with higher times (experience) are not the ideal profile. Wonder why.. smh.

Seems like higher education (MBA, JD, etc) and things outside of aviation nowadays seems to trump ambassadorship to the profession such as due paying, CP, Check Airman, PIC time and longevity.

The people from my company that left and went to DAL/UAL/AK etc and had me scratching my head about what the above airlines were thinking all had one thing in common: Lots of outside degrees and just barely enough aviation experience. Just saying.

The degrees, volunteering, community service etc seems to be more valuable than actual aviation experience.

At some point the airplane still needs to be flown. Safely.

"I've got enough NICE people around here, now I need some da~n pilots!!"
