Is it worth even putting in an app if we don’t have 1000 turbine ? I’m at about 800 only (don’t laugh). Looking through here there’s some people with some impressive experience . I’d really like to get to Delta and am patiently waiting to apply but at the same time don’t want to look like an idiot. Should I even put something in when I hit 1000 hours turbine , or wait for some PIC time (which is going to be 3-4 years probably from now).
Also wanted to ask, how long does one take to get to MSP nowadays ? I heard it’s really senior but getting better as time passes.
If you meet the published minimums (not “preferred” times), it is absolutely worth it to apply. Take your time, make your application perfect, and keep it updated. Don’t wait for some magic number that isn’t published. Lots of us got hired below the “magic” 1000tpic
