Yeah I know cause by Dec I will be done with my ratings and be at approx 400TT and 200ME, and was planning on transferring from F/A to F/O (as I have 10yrs with the company). Prior to 2001 they did have low mins around 350-ish, but mainly for company transfers. Maybe this will change when they don't get enough "qualified" applicants to apply.

I think it is going to be really hard for a current cpt to give up his/her 55+ dollar per hr to goto reserve at 35. Year two as an f/o on all planes is only 55/hr....unless he/she want's to be based in IAD/SFO/LAX/ORD.....as those are the only bases new hires are going.......
