Don't most major carriers want 1000-1500 hours? I'm personally not going to reach those FW hours without flying for a regional. The sooner that I reach those hours, the sooner those positions are an option. I'm not debating the value of PIC vs SIC time. One is obviously better than the other. But when applying for a job who says 1000 hours required, did I win the day as a 800 hour CPT vs a 1100 hour FO? I am, as the name says, a New Guy. So please, educate me if I'm wrong. Seriously. I thought time was king. If going CPT is sexier than hours, ok. I wasn't tracking that.
