There are a few exceptions due to ethnic and gender requirements, but still nothing near 500 hour mark and again most were ATP.
Now if you mean lCAL I have no idea what the min was.
Considering gender I wonder if Kaitlin J could get hired today? Age, gender, famous media, ESPN heroe and so much more. UAL could even use KJ to do the safety video.

Why are the 570 infamous? Did they do something bad by striking against the B-scale payrates?
