1000 TPIC isn’t needed at all anymore to go to a legacy.
the best advice I’ve seen so far in this thread - assuming his goal is a legacy - is to go to Spirit, Frontier and even Allegiant right now. You’ll get hired at the legacy far sooner… and if not you’re already at a good place. Once the Spirit Frontier merge is complete I’ll bet their CBA magically becomes very comparable to legacy rates and benefits.
certain ACMI are even very good choices and have lots of guys moving to legacies. Nobody leaves for the LCC’s anymore at the better ACMI’s as they’ve become good careers too.
it’s a great time to be a pilot.
