It's not always about flight time. Network, network, network... Once you've done that, add some community service and other extra-curriculars to your resume. Then go to job fairs. If you try to separate yourself from the pack with flight time, you'll never do it.

Unless you're female or minority they won't hire you with 2500. Maybe allegiant but you have to go their job fair, you won't get called if you just applied online.
I think the "unless you're female, or minority...." argument is a little mid-90's, don't you think? Plenty of pilots hired at the Big-3 the last 2 years that fit into neither of these categories
