Hired by XJT November '04
At that time most regional airline mins were 1500 and 200, and most weren't even hiring at that... with the exception of places like Great Lakes. I was actually shooting for SkyWest since I had an "In" there to get hired on an internal rec. at 1000TT... I would have had over 700 multi at that time. 1 month before I hit the 1000 mark XJT lowered their mins to 600/100. I didn't really believe it but I went ahead and put my app in online. 24 hours later I got a phone call to fax my resume, 2 days later I got a phone interview, 4 days later I was in an interview in Houston, and less than a week after that I was in class on Nov. 1.
Quite a ride.
