Fresh Gulfstream G-IV and V Captain part 135.
4100k TT
2300 Multi
1300 Multi TPIC mostly 135.
5 Types
No College, no 121.
Clean background and no failures.

How do internal recs work? I got three guys on the inside that will write a letter but no one knows what to do with it.

Took me two years to get hired so don’t lose faith. Can you earn a degree online? Don’t know how much it’ll help but it can’t hurt and some airlines you just won’t hire you without it. Have your internally contact their base chief pilot and they will get them pointed in the right direction with their letters for you.

that’s unbelievable that they don’t know what to do. 3 pilots and none of them know? Wow. Anyways. I’ll shoot you a PM with what they need to do.

seems odd. We get emails pretty regularly that tell us how to submit recs. It’s a simple email lol.

yea, the reality of 135 has slapped me upside the head this year and now I realize no degree is holding me back. No one cares in 135 since every job has been word of mouth…I guess it’s time to pay up!

I wouldn’t worry about the degree. Especially if spirit is your target. Within a year we’re going to be hiring CFI’s

That’s true but then all your eggs are in one basket. What if spirit never calls. Casting a wide net will require the degree. Unless it’s only spirit or stay 135

I got hired with no degree, and all 91/135 experience. I had about the same TT, but had more TPIC.
