Some interesting comments. Shows why they're interested in college grads, GPA matters, 'all I've done is this' hurts you("grew comfortable" by JB). And how age, or high TT, isn't necessarily the positive guys think it is.
DL's civilian new hire TT averaged 7500. So guys with higher time are getting hired. But the industry is not just looking for the highest TT and TPIC.
Interesting, but JetBlue is the most reputable carrier to add to that discussion; they just started their ab initio program. The rest are Allegiant and the regionals. So it makes me wonder how much of this allegedly scientific presentation is actually just anti-1500 hour propaganda. All that being said, they wouldn't have needed to address higher times >10,000 TT, so that is interesting, unless it was just to drive home the point that hours don't matter and they should be able to hire 250 hour commercial pilots.
