How to get hired

[pilotyip]

TJ PIC will get you the job; the degree gets you the interview. You can get a degree while flying full time, working toward that job that finally gets you the TJ PIC. You can not work toward TJ PIC while attending a 4-yr. school full time. Two candidates 27 years old interview, one went to EAU full time on campus, he now has 2500 hours, 1000, MEL 1000 PIC in SEL, the other candidate starting flying out of HS, got his first 135 job at age 19, his first jet job at 21, made TJ PIC at 23, he now has 5500TT, 4500MEL, 2500 TJ PIC and a four year degree from EAU done on-line, (actually the second candidate described here did not have a degree, but he was hired by Spirit ahead many many candidates with college degrees who were trying to move from the right seat of an RJ) Now who gets the job. The importance of the degree in pursuing aviation career is misplaced; TP PIC is the ultimate goal that will get you the job. Degree has nothing to do with flying an airplane it only opens doors.

I believe "TJ PIC" is pilot-in-command time in turbojet powered aircraft.

I thought it was Tom Jones, "What's new Pu$$ycat"

Yawn?

Are you sleeping at your keyboard? isn't there a reg against that? However, no discussion, no refuting of evidence and it bugs all of the college graduates that someone might have made it in aviation without a degree, piles of debt, and a late start in the race. Glad you read my posts anyway it makes you an informed reader

TJ PIC doesn't get you an interview, a degree doesn't get you an interview. Knowing someone gets you an interview.

Now if you could tell us what it takes to NOT end up a 60 something, bitter, burned out frieght pilot, now THAT would be interesting... But since you haven't figured that out, and no one asked you about any other information (and obviously aren't interested in what you have to say), what is the purpose of your post?
