A few months ago I sent a different friend's resume in with 700/100 and he was hired. Right now the company feels the staffing is good so they are hiring for attrition, and with CA mins being met when people walk in the door the company can be picky because the people coming in have 3500+ trying to get the PIC time. Last week we had a memo that all the New hire CA's were required to first get 100 hours in the plane (so I am guessing a new CA must be an FO for 100 hours first- which I think is a good thing). I didn't read it too thoroughly since I will be upgrading conventionally. Basicly right now the company is not losing as many out the door and we are still hiring at a good pace but the new hires either have alot of time (for a quick upgrade) or are low timers from bridge programs. What I have heard *rumor mill* is that the bridge program peeps bring money to the company. Supposedly JetU/ATP give the company money for hiring a student that passed the bridge program. I haven't researched it- doesn't pertain to me. The email my friend received reiterated the published 1000/100 mins. Hope it helps...
