Every story has to analyzed in the era it was in. 1960's? Majors were hiring guys with less than 500 hrs TT. 1980's? You needed 2500 hrs, or more, to get on with a good regional (called commuters back then). Ten to fifteen years ago guys were getting regional jobs with 250 hrs TT. Now the law requires 1500 hrs TT.
A decade ago it was tough to get jobs for a lot of guys. But the guys that started back then, and were able to start building their professional resumes, will have great careers as the retirement bubble hits.
