If so, please list when you were hired what your experience was.
Total time, me time, jet/turbo prop time, type ratings, 135 experience, year hired and the current hiring conditions at the time, if you had a internal recommendation, major hired by, and anything else you would consider that has helped you.
OR if you were are regional pilot, have you been able to get into a major in less than 1 year? If so what were your qualifications?
Thanks in advance.
The only regional pilots that got to majors in less than 1 year are guys who already had the resume they needed... they just needed to get current, make the right connection, something like that.Originally Posted by Caelum Deus

Its a lot simpler than what you're asking. You have to meet the requirements that the airline wants, have something on your resume that makes you stand out, and know the right people. Thats really it. Get a college degree, a couple thousand hours PIC in a jet, and network. Its harder than the regionals though, thats for sure. Hard to build flight time that quickly and you're not surrounded by networking opportunities all day every day when you're at work.
Good luck. Oh and if you're posting this because you think you're better than going to a regional and want to do it another way, you may want to do a significant evaluation of your priorities and goals to make sure thats really what you want.
