I have a list of my aircraft types and total hours in each one.. what they ask you on airlineapps.. but they want to know night hours, landings in that a/c.... that will require digging out the old logs- I'm
assuming a wild guess will just make you look bad if you actually get an interview and they decide to take a peak inside your logs ?

If they’ve turned down a former shuttle pilot (true story).. they appear to be quite particular, Lol.
But I also know of a former colleague who was hired there from my regional who had told me he’d not kept a logbook in over 10 years... so somehow he suddenly remembered his time and landings and must’ve gotten writers cramp and an interview and job.

oh well... it’s a pipe dream to fly purple aircraft, so worth the effort to work at getting it right..
I'm going to say this very nicely. I wish we would hire more civilian pilots. However; if you're not wiling to put forth your best application and at least *try* to dust off your logbooks and list your applicable flying time, then please GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. WE ... or at least I don't want you here. And I sure as heck don't want you flying with me.

This is NOT a McDonald's minimum wage job.
