But I only have about 450 ME time (100 hrs in a King Air C90 and 350 hrs in a Marine Corps KC-130).
Should I even try and put in an app online, because it says that you need 1,000 hrs ME time? Or, should I just be looking for someone who would walk my resume in to the right people?
One last quick question, what would the chances be of getting IAH out of training? That's where I'd like to be domiciled as it's near to my home in Pensacola.
Thanks,

I am not CALCAPT but I think I can answer this very simply. YES you should fill out the online application ASAP regardless if you have the time requirements. You should also try to network and get someone to bring your resume in.
Right now everyone is being based in EWR with most new hires going to the 737. It looks like pilots are being advanced to IAH within 3 to 6 months.
I hope this helps.
