I'm not saying I would take the first job that came at me. And I never said that those direct entry flight positions don't exist. I simply wanted to enquire about sunwest and their job ads, and if they had an internal progression to the flight line. They seem like a reputable company. Thanks everyon...

I've sent out over 50 resumes. 250TT Had 2 interviews so far. Still waiting to hear back about them.
