I believe it’s been that way for at least a couple years.
Okay, I could’ve worded that better...
Yes, the verbiage on pilotcredentials has been that way for a while. I had not heard of anyone actually getting hired in the last few years without 1000 TPIC though. Rob Fisher not only confirmed this during the open house in May ‘17, but added the fact that the ‘effective’ hiring mins were 1000 TPIC in a 12,500# (or greater) aircraft. That’s why I was curious how long ago gbntpilot had interviewed.
