Funny, when I got my first gig, most CA's I flew with had 2-3000 tt, and usually some 135 experience. THEN they were lucky enough to get hired at a 121 carrier, all for $14/hr to fly a 19 seat turboprop.
And I used to hear that "it's not like back in the day when when I got hired, you had to have 10,000 single pilot IFR blah blah blah. Not like now where they hire you 1500 hour kids with nothing by CFI experience" bs.
