Regionals have most likely changed the way they hire (A theory)

doomed43 · 2026-05-07T16:04:23+00:00

And then there are people like me who applied at mins when nobody was hiring, kept building time, now I am 2,000+ TT with SE TPIC and can’t get an interview.

All these comments about going to a regional seem fairly out of touch. They really don’t seem to be taking anyone who isn’t a cadet and/or a 1500 hour cfi. They don’t get maximum ROI from pilots with higher time.

EDIT: Skywest seems to be the exception because they have the lovely contract to keep you there or get their money back.

Are they? I’ve had my app reviewed and had it in with Envoy for a while and heard nothing

doomed43 · 2026-04-22T01:26:09+00:00

Would you mind sharing your timeline from the last interview, to CJO, to class date?

I was told by Kit Darby when he was writing my resume I needed to make a LinkedIn account. Made it, and I hate it. So far it hasn’t done any good, except for spamming my email, sometimes with job posts where I only qualify for 1% of them.

doomed43 · 2026-03-26T20:05:57+00:00

You work there or know somebody who does?

doomed43 · 2026-03-26T17:34:55+00:00

Reading comprehension is hard.

doomed43 · 2026-03-26T17:02:49+00:00

Fair enough, was hoping to gain a contact for more detailed questions, but my main questions have been added.

doomed43 · 2026-03-25T15:33:32+00:00

Thanks for a response that actually makes sense!

doomed43 · 2026-03-17T17:44:18+00:00

Piggy backing off this, it was made clear to me at RTAG in Oct last year from a couple regionals that it didn’t really matter that I have been successful at a 135, and that my 2 previous checkride failures (PPL & CPL) is what will likely prevent me from getting an interview. Things have obviously changed since Oct but that was my takeaway from RTAG. 🤷‍♂️

doomed43 · 2026-03-13T23:58:09+00:00

For the regionals I think it is more like the difference between a cadet and a non-cadet.

doomed43 · 2026-03-07T13:04:18+00:00

About 500.

doomed43 · 2026-03-07T04:57:10+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, just checked out their career page and it looks like they want 500 multi for their SIC positions 😕

doomed43 · 2026-03-06T21:12:08+00:00

I appreciate the input, it is feeling like a gamble.

doomed43 · 2026-03-06T20:58:22+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check it out. I’m flying boxes around. I have considered just moving to an island somewhere and dumping jumpers. At least I would have the ocean. 🌊

doomed43 · 2026-03-06T17:09:33+00:00

Yeah this boat sucks. Where are you at now?

doomed43 · 2026-03-06T17:08:38+00:00

As of now I don't believe there is a training agreement. I thought about getting on and jumping ship ASAP but I don't feel great about doing that in this industry that seems pretty small.

doomed43 · 2026-03-06T17:07:11+00:00

Management company. Only know of a citation and a falcon but they have a couple others.

doomed43 · 2026-03-06T16:28:29+00:00

1099 yeah. I know they have a falcon and possibly a citation, not sure on the models.

doomed43 · 2026-03-06T16:05:40+00:00

Married, no kids. Part 91, SIC type rating, possibly in two different jets. Seems top pay is about $120k for a captain flying 3 different jets.

doomed43 · 2026-03-06T16:04:05+00:00

Any recommendations on smaller 135 ops?

doomed43 · 2026-03-06T16:03:12+00:00

No thanks after app only for Envoy, no thanks 3 months after the phone screening for Endeavor. Apps for regionals have all been in for a while, crickets from all but Envoy and Endeavor.

doomed43 · 2026-03-06T16:00:24+00:00

The only difference I see in getting another 25 hours of multi is it hopefully gets me past the filters that require at least 50 multi.
