Great video, Joe! When I started interviewing for 121 my buddies told me to expect to spend $5k on clothes, resume, interview and logbook prep and travel for hiring conferences, etc. That’s nothing for the multi million dollar career they are going to hand you. Do the prep. Dress your best. Put your best foot forward. It’s worth it!!
I was a little anxious when I flew to Denver for my Aviate interview, but then I got there and all that melted away. Everyone was overwhelmingly pleasant from the flight attendants who I mentioned I had an interview to, on my flight there, to the interviewers who made it feel like a conversation, to the 787 FO who gave us our tour of the facility. It really cemented my feelings that United was the place I want to be. Now I am just counting down till I get there. Thanks for another video, Joe. I appreciate your input for upcoming pilots like myself.
Nice job speaking about the Opportunities and Challenges and conveying the Lessons Learned. I think I hear the hangar doors dancing from the wind. Safe travels ✈️
Unless you literally have failed every interview and don’t know how to talk to another person, its all just luck and timing. If it’s meant to be it’s meant to be. After about 6 airline and pt135 interviews that I’ve done in my career so far I’ve learned that you’re usually hired or not before you walk in. There’s not much you can do, it’s all just luck and timing. Recently all you needed was a smile and clean record for a job where only a few years ago you needed thousands and thousands of hours. So the interview is a confirmation. Every job that I really cared for I didn’t get, every job that I didn’t care too much either way, I’ve gotten. It just goes to show you that you just need to relax, not act rehearsed and desperate and just be yourself. If you can’t be yourself, I’d definitely look into interview prep.
✈️ Congrats on the hire ! ✈️ I'm still bummed you didn't get to meet my United Instructor Friend though ! lol Happy Landings and have fun up there ! ✈️🎶☮️
Times change so quickly in the airlines . Sometimes I feel like I stumbled into the airlines because of how relative hiring has been compared to the past , this while others have had to invest heavily into the interview process . Looking back I should’ve spent the necessary funds in the interview process like you mentioned . But was too cheap and arrogant to bother! This is great advice Btw the pettiness of industry insane . Spirit wasn’t thrilling with ALPA so volunteer work (most likely helping kids or giving back to the community) would turn them off ? Gimme a break
by the time im even allowed to be restricted atp, (2yrs), AI will be the leading resume creator. There will probably be an emphasis on in person interviews, all resumes as they are get thrown in a bin so i dont plan on submitting one anyways, im actually prepping my PERSONALITY to be one that is enjoyable, confident, and professional.
Thanks for the video. Would you be able to do a video talking in more detail how you keep your logbook up to date? Do you use an electronic logbook...etc. Cheers!
As a someone who is currently in flight school this is very helpful. I am older so this is career 2.0 for me. I guess a question I would ask is when you put together a resume do they only want to see flight associated jobs or do they want your entire employment history ? Also, I was in sales so it wasn’t like I was in one job for a long amount of time one to two years at best is generally how it worked in that field. So I’ve had a lot of jobs. Pretty sure I don’t remember all of them. Is that a problem?
@@larreamma1519 I would do your history for maybe the last 10 years. Another reason a prep service might be good is they may have a better idea how to craft a resume in your situation
I have an "EZ-HEAT" Oil tank Pad that I run on a timer and I also sometimes use a little space heater with a blanket over the cowl to help the process.

Yeah but you have to get the interview first, thats usually the hard part.
@ I agree
Thanks for the video. Would you be able to do a video talking in more detail how you keep your logbook up to date? Do you use an electronic logbook...etc. Cheers!
Thanks! I still use the old Paper logbooks and generally just update them once a week or so.

What do you use to preheat the Cub?

I use red dragon to heat
