Hate to break it to you, but there is no "real" magic number out there, and all you're going to see here are wildly varying stats. Guys getting hired on at United with 7000 hours zero PIC. Guys getting crickets from United with 7000 hours and 4000 TPIC. Women and minorities getting hired on with way less. Women and minorities hearing crickets. Zoomies getting hired with 2000 hours total. And zoomies with 4000 hours who can't get a call for whatever reason.

Best advice; keep flying, keep updating, keep networking. Your "target stats" is such a random number and it fluctuates constantly, with each applicant. You'll go crazy trying to figure out what "you" need. Because the answer really boils down to "nobody but the algorithm knows", and Al isn't talking.

Keep flying.

Keep updating.

Keep networking.

Try to get a leadership position (chief pilot, union position, etc etc)

Keep your nose clean.

And keep flying.
