As bad as some airlines may be needing pilots, there's no reason to give HR a chance at second guessing ur app.

I'll recommend Shepard Air. I did the ATP written the old fashioned way several years ago. That took forever. Got an 88 (I think). Contacted Shepard Air, about a year ago. Knocked out the ATP in a few days, the score was something like 93. I was in and out of the test facility super fast, too.

Really? Junior F.O's are going to USair, Jetblue, and Virgin? Where are the senior captains going, the international space station?
Please don't start the Mcdonalds / Home Depot arguement. Even year 1 F.O's earn more than year 1 fast food restaurant workers, and flying a jet is more rewarding than flipping burgers.

Most Senior CA's aren't going anywhere. They are entrenched here like they have been for they last 20 years and will ride this job out until they retire or die. They don't want to leave, they don't apply anywhere. They like their 100K+ and good schedules. They aren't interested in going to start over at 30-40K and reserve again. I have had this conversation with hundreds of them. Mid-seniority on down are the ones leaving or actively trying to leave, mainly FO's. Even most CA's seem to be waiting around for this flow through which keeps them here indefinitely. Not many CA's are even applying to leave.. some are, but definitely not a high % like you would think.
and flying a jet is more rewarding than flipping burgers.
