To publish or not to publish (airlineapp)
As a prospective nervous young candidate I'm conflicted with the following issue: I'm headed to the NGPA Industry Expo in Feb but I'm still 18 months out from mil retirement (Oct 2019 available), should I publish my app before I go (I'll be woefully deficient in the 100hr currency department)? Would there be any value handing them a resume without a published app? Looking to not shoot myself in the foot. Thanks all!

I still think DENTK was the right choice for a consolidated facility, and it needed some renovation and expansion.
But I think they went WAY overboard on what was spent.

Granted, seems to have been a while since I've seen/heard of it;
But there were some military guys with distant separation dates that were sent emails from HR along the lines of "we saw your app, please respond back to set up an interview when within 6 months (I THINK) of your planned separation date.

Yep, publish now and update. I published my app 16 months before I retired. Got a call from United at 10 months to availability that said to call when I hit the six month mark. I was in a staff job and hadn't flown in two years.

It’s not all on the captains. If it’s warm at all I’ll start it. Only had one guy even question me about it. 4 day trip, leg one. That one time it was like 100 degrees in the airplane and he wouldn’t start it. External air wasn’t hooked up and he was on the radio trying to get it hooked up while everybody cooked. I ended up just starting the APU without his permission and he gave me the stink eye. Ridiculous lack of SA by a small minority. But I get it.
Back on topic...publish your application ASAP. It can’t hurt to have it out there. It can hurt not to....
