Do the majors want JET time?

My sim partner at Republic was a former 1900 Captain that interviewed with Fedex (his dad is a pilot there). He was hired than a couple of days later told that Fedex required Jet time with FMS now. It really doesn't matter who was on the hiring board when the company changed the policy to only allow guys with jet time.

Diversity? I HAZ it. Freight, freight, freight, right seat jet charter, left seat jet charter, air ambo. If I can get me that OV-10 gig, I'll be one rotor-wing job away from having DONE IT ALL. And then surely Southwest or Delta will be murdering people to get to bang on my door. Yeah.

I'm going to use you as an example for two reason: first, you're ugly, and second, you're really ugly.

So what does Boris being ugly have to do with getting a call at any company? Nothing, it doesn't matter at all.

What does his diverse resume matter besides meeting the minimum requirements at a company? Nothing.

What matters? Personality (of which he has none), connections (of which he has none), and the ability to not embarrass yourself in an interview (he's hosed here too).

So while we all know Boris is screwed no matter what he does, he should drive home the point that airlines don't hire logbooks, they hire people. First you need the logbook, which he likely has. Once you're in the door with what they're looking for, airlines hire people. If you're a horrible person (which Boris no doubt is), you won't go anywhere.

So what salvation could there be for such a buffoon? Well, I hear MikeD is looking for some folks to help him with some mercenary work. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we see the perfect example of how companies do not hire logbooks, they hire people. Boris is a rotten, good for nothing, low life piece of crap, and will fit in PERFECTLY with Mike's upcoming outfit. It's all about fitting in with the corporate culture of the organization that you want to be a part of.

How do you know - you aren't what DL is looking for anyway and you know it...because of that Joel guy and your comments about Auburn. Boris could have all the MU2 time in the world, but if he shows up with an Auburn shirt and Cam Newton tat then Joel will get it done. You know this.

I keep forgetting about that...thanks Waco for setting me straight!

Just trying to "pay it forward". That remains one of the threads in my JC history that still makes me alternately laugh and scratch my head. Flushing...or threatening to flush a guys career aspiration over a football game. Classic.

I do have to say, he's not posted on here since then...maybe if I can get hired on at AS I'll just move to DL after the merger, find ole Joel's bag and slap a big "G" on it...though Velo didn't like me, so I'm probably blacklisted there too

You're pretty much hosed in all ways. You should just accept that now and carry on with your life. Suck up to ATN perhaps - he can try at SWA. Personally, I'd be pushing for FedEx or UPS myself...since I obviously can't get on with MikeD's mercenary thing...
