Just got this email today about Peidmont. Here is a small excerpt:
"I heard one of the check airman talking about the (unofficial) minimums for
hire being lowered. I think he said 300 or 350 hours total time."
Edit (adding this):
The most recent captain hire date whatever thingy on APC lists it as being pre-9/11. That accurate? If so thats a mighty long upgrade time.
