Dunno about competitive mins... but generally they are looking for: 5000TT, 2000 Jet/turbine time. (they might be 2500). Obviously guys with heavy/international time probably have a better shot. Internal rec's are very very helpful. There are guys being hired without them, but it also gives you a leg up. Guys with less than 5000TT with military backgrounds or LOTS of turbine time have a shot as well.
