rickair,
thanks- i am banking on the fact that i will have 737 time under my belt, i also have a number of good contacts at the squadron who can walk my resume in. I am targeting United, Deta, American and JetBlue (as i will meet their minimums) and non of these require TPIC. I have been hired by Skywest but would rather wait it out doing the reserve thing than work for 20k a year...
