It's funny, every job I've applied to and got offers from and subsequently accepted, I had substantially LESS than the posted minimum requirements. Please stop trolling here, if you are not trolling, please seek professional help.

Please PM me. I'm not trolling. Help people instead of insulting them.

Many who are bashing me about more than hours for jobs, please refer me to which listed requirement I'm missing.


CRJ First Officer
Job Requirements:
• 2000 Hours Total Time
• 500 Two-crew multi-engine
• Must hold Canadian Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) and TC Category 1 Medical Certificate
• Group I IFR
• Able to obtain Transport Canada Security Clearance
• Willing to relocate to YYZ
• Legally entitled to work in Canada
• Able to operate airline aircraft within USA without restriction (Supporting documents required)
• Aviation diploma/degree an asset

Maybe apply for the CRJ then? They could just see you as overqualified and want lower time FO's to groom for the left seat in that particular company culture.

Done,

Waiting for your resume and cover letter to review...

Maybe we ARE failing Nicky here, perhaps we just need to get to the root of the issue. So, maybe Nicky just doesn't have the proper complexities of experience. So help us out here Nicky, let us know where you are at with the king air and we will try to point you in the direction to get better experience.

So let me ask a couple of questions about your current BE20:

1) does it have trailing link gear or the high fallacy gear?
2) does it have the PT6-99's or the Rolls Royce engines?
3) does it have the Raisbeck wing extensions?
4) does it have does it have the Garmin 2200 or Primus 450 suite?
5) are your boost pumps on the ceiling or by the co pilots arm rest?
6) does it have 3 blade or 4 blade props?

These are just a few of the technical points a potential employer may be looking at to ensure you have "The right stuff" to fit in their operation. Some of these options are more common than others in the Be20 so they want to see that you can master both the common and uncommon.

Every BE20 I've flown I can never seem to get a decent landing with that damn high-fallacy gear...

Based on the 17 word resume I received, I can see why he hasn't been hired... I suspect being 14 and in his parents basement has something to do with it.

Maybe he didn't realize 3900 hours on FlightSimulator doesn't count.

Although maybe XSBank did his resume?






*Disclaimer: I fully support the efforts of XSBank in his resume building business and in no way are my words to be taken seriously on this thread. Lest anyone think this was a real comment, it is in fact totally farsical! Thank you

That's not listed, please refer me to the "real" requirements. Wish companies would post the "real" requirements.

Common sense.

Another one you're clearly lacking. Do you really think a company would hire you if they dont like you, just because of your flight time?

Based on the PM I got asking me why I won't use my personal connection at Jazz to ask why an internet stranger isn't getting a call with 3900 hours says it all.

why would companies not like me? Haven't heard of anyone not enjoy being crewed with me and I've flown with more than myself !

It might be your undeserved sense of entitlement.

Why do I have to spend a lot more time in left seat 703/704 ops than most ?

Do you work at Missinippi? Based on your location I'm assuming that's where you are....

Networking and timing gets you a foot in the door for an interview. Personality counts for way more than your TT.

Simply put, interviewers are trying to find out the answer to this question:

"Can I trust this person, with an aircraft, to fly clientele/cargo in safe and efficient environnement?"

Just because a person meets the minimum flying requirements for the job, it doesn't mean that the job is automatically theirs!

Every job I've ever had in and outside of aviation has come about by networking and selling myself as the right person for the job. Not once was experience a factor. Virtually every job I've had before flying I was under qualified for when starting. Yet I was still hired.

I don't use people to get ahead, appears many of you do and that is just morally wrong. I have never had to do that to get jobs I've had in past or my current job, I shouldn't have to either for a 705 FO position.

Networking and using people are not the same thing. The fact you think that says a lot.


Attention future employers, if a guy named Nick with 3900 hours on a King Air 200 applies... Well, if you're reading this I'm sure you've read this thread.

I'm not to jump to any conclusions as to whether or not you are indeed a figment of your own imagination, but no matter how you slice it, something just don't add up here.

If you in fact ARE a real life pirate, I feel bad for the negativity you've garnered, especially since you actually haven't been overtly aggressive or rude like many other keyboard pounders are. But I question your motives. I also wonder why you think that everyone shares a unanimous opinion of you?
I'm curious as to whether you've taken any REAL steps besides trolling people? Have you contacted anyone that would require you to pay good money for good results? What about XSBank? He gets proven results going over resumes. Same with PCC, though they charge a lot.
Why don't you post your resume in the "Hire Me" section? Again, if you're a real grown up boy then you should be able to shut people up and possibly humble yourself to some real creative suggestions. Go ahead, dare ya. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. What have you got to lose?

Truly, best of luck either way, in cleaning your room or flying a BE20.

So glad you have said I haven't been rude. I can take a lot of heat. I'm as genuine as you get. I have not shot off any derogatory to those that have been bashing me left and right.
I contacted XSBank.
I fairly certain the airlines aren't looking on "hire me".

NickyNick wrote: I fairly certain the airlines aren't looking on "hire me".

How do you know? Shows you don't really understand networking. You never know who you'll meet next and if you've already met them.

It's as much a helpful suggestion as a challenge to you- it still stands.

I wouldn't be surprised if DaveP or AirSprintHR or several of the other high ups browse the "hire me" section on occasion. Granted you won't get an offer over avcanada for Westjet (I assume), but don't be surprised if what you post on here helps/hinders you in an interview.
