That's not true. People are getting hired with 50% more than that, although the average is a few thousand less and I'd imagine that's mostly due to the military numbers. I don't know your other quals but you're very qualified as far as flight time. There are a lot of people in your shoes, though.
On the flip side, does anyone know if there's a "floor" before which people won't get looked at? I keep seeing the low civil numbers being 3500-4000, and maybe something like 1500 for military? If you have a solid resume, but are below a certain number of hours for either civil or military (if that exists), will you be overlooked?
