I'm sorry I didn't realize I had signed up for FI.com...........

If I had received the same e-mail as PBone with in excess of the 2500 hrs, then we could have determined it wasn't the 2500 requirement that generated the e-mail.

Maybe he's never applied to an airline before? Or maybe he hasn't experienced how things sometimes work when you know someone high up in a company. (I don't, I'm a regular applicant like everyone else). IMO there has to be a reason they give minimums and attach a "preferred" to them. IMO it it is there as a hard minimum except for those with some really good connections to HAL.

Either way, I am curious as to why he received the e-mail. If someone with more than the minimums receives one I'd be very interested to know that information as well and hopefully they will post here to inform us.

But if you think that I am being a d___ for posting a theory then by all means have at it.
