I just find it really odd that people are not getting hired - it makes me wonder three things: 1) Are the directors of SOC/OCC picky in who they hire? I know they should be mindful of who they hire, they want someone who knows what they are doing vs. someone who only knows half the job 2) Are the people who are applying for positions not well prepared in the interview, like knowing where to find the MEA on a IAP or what the reserve fuel requirements are? I have heard from a few people that the schooling can make a differance, all schools need to train the full 250 hours but are they all using the same curriculum? 3) People are limiting the options.
I know there has been a lot of shake downs in the business lately, including our company but the growth of all airlines is a matter of time again especially with fleet expansion at Delta, United, Allegiant, Republic and SkyWest.
I don't have my ticket yet, I start my class August 20th. I plan on coming back to the company I work for once I am done.
