I was wondering if there was a magic number of hours that smaller charter companies look for in a new hire for insurance purposes. For example, pilot A has below the magic number of hours, therefore the company is not interested because their insurance costs for that pilot would be through the roof. Pilot B has more than the magic number of hours, therefore the company is more interested because it won't cost them as much.

Just curious. Thanks!
