SATSair's mins are ATP minimums (1,500 total, 500 xc, etc), but they can hire with FAR 135 IFR mins (1,200 tt...). That said, very few pilots there are hired with mins. Most come from charter, airline, or military backgrounds with thousands of hours, but in todays job market a safe pilot with good customer service skills will stand a good chance.


Getting your private, commercial, and CFI then instructing to get the time may be the best route. Espacially if your instructing experience includes some good IFR time and if possible some Cirrus time (several of SATSair's pilots were CSIP instructors when they were hired I think).

If you're located anywhere near Greenville, SC it would also help to stop by to introduce yourself to the powers that be sometime.
