All,
Looking at retirement in the next year and I need another job. My apps are in for FDX/SWA/UAL/DAL/AA. I have all the flying pre-reqs, but I'm currently sitting in a non-flying job (i.e. I have currency via GA/CAP flying, but not going to get the 100 hours that places like UAL desire). I'm going to keep pressing for the majors, but assuming that I end up spending a little while building time after retirement so I look prettier for the majors interview boards, what options should I be looking at to remain competitive? Regional 121? 135? Local/long haul cargo/feeders? I have no ground truth, but I'm told (rumor mill) that some majors prefer Regional 121 to 135 or other types of flying. I'm willing to absorb any insight you're willing to provide. Not trying to create a flying type argument, just looking for insight from those that have been there.
Thanks!
