What is my best chance? Apply in a Regional, to the majors? or Cargo?
Thanks in advance for your comments.
I would say that you have a pretty good resume. If your degree converts, the engineering background will help too. (Yes that makes a difference in how your application is scored). If you absolutely want to live in South Florida then American, JetBlue, and Spirit should be at the top of your list. I’d imagine you’d get a call pretty quickly from the latter two. If they don’t, then as others mentioned, find some cargo carrier to hang out at until they do. Delta and United are great too of course but again, if living SOFLO is your goal then you would be committing to a life of commuting (which sucks).
Best of luck to you and your new adventure. Out of curiosity, where are you moving from?
