I remember jumpseating while at Spirit on Delta. The FO asks if we are hiring, I said yes (wondering why he was asking.)
He says "Cool, im trying to get my brother a job and some experience before I can bring him to Delta, he only has 1500 hours"
(Spirit's mins were 4000 at the time)
"Yeah, well the current mins are 4,000 right now, so not sure he will be competitive with 1500 total time"
(He looks confused) "Thats more than Delta!"
"Ok, thanks for the ride"
The entire experience was just humorous because how some people can be so clueless
