The plan is to hire full steam until their fiscal year is up at the end of March. Give it a shot, never hurts to try again. They are grabbing furloughed 121 guys left and right. I think an internal rec would probably get you an interview. I know the preferential hiring with Comair that we got basically consisted of the XJ MEC Chair pulling out our app to get called, so someone walking in your stuff has got to count for something.

If your trip gets pulled for IOE after you started the trip, does that mean you are time available and cannot do the 24 hour callout? Thanks!

Someone once mentioned that showing up to an interview with a 10 month old First Class Medical shows that "you dont really want the job".
However, in the email from Mesaba with travel information for the interview it states "You must possess a First Class Medical Certificate issued within the last 12 months to be eligible for participation in our interview process."
Just like to know your thoughts on how that would look bad if they state it specifically in their email?

No... you still have the right to select 24 hour call out. Just call them ASAP to tell them this, and then inform them that this is also your "12 o' clock check in" and see if they've got anything for you.

No offense to any of you seeking Resume/Interview advice here, but there may be better ways to seek help.
1. It is not wise to post personal info on a public forum.
2. You are talking to line pilots here... everyone thinks they know how it works, because they got hired with their technique. Not saying that it doesn't, but what worked for one person may not work for another.
There are professional services out there than can help you with this kind of stuff, look in your local yellow pages or Google it. Yes, it will cost you a few bucks, but it will be well worth it if it helps you land a job.
If you graduated from a college or university, they often have a Career Services type of office that is specifically designed to help current students, as well as graduates with exactly this kind of stuff (Resumes, Cover Letters, Interview prep. etc.) Even if you've been graduated for a while, you can still use the service for free in most cases, thats why you paid all those student fees while you were at college. Even if you didn't go to an aviation specific college this service can still be valuable... aviation recruiters and interviews are not as different from most other HR operations as many people think.
I'm not trying to harp on anyones advice here, because there have been some good suggestions on this thread as well as on a few others, however I do think you will have a better chance at landing a job if you seek out someone who does this for a living, and whom you can submit your actual Resume/Cover letter to, without fear of releasing personal information.
That being said, I hope everyone here successfully lands a job.

If there are guys out there that are really struggling with this application/resume/cover letter thing, PM me and we can work something out. My wife does this stuff for a living, and I am sure you can get the same quality for a much lower fee than going to google or some recent college grad.

Honestly I didnt read more than a couple lines in your post, so I probably didnt misunderstand you. That being said, usually the free service is done by an intern or a teaching assistant. Not necessarily the people that I want commandeering my career.

Secondly, If you can't trust your college with your career... who can you trust?
If you got down this far in my post, I will admit that you are right, the service wasn't completely free... I paid for it dearly with student fees while I was at college.
