Do they look closely at how much time it took you to do your PPL and IFR?? If I remember corrently, I had something like 58 hours when I came down from my PPL checkride, and I was 18 years old. It's more than 40, but keep in mind that the national average is well over 60 hours, and that I basically wasn't able to fly during the school year (crapp winter weather and high school band). Scored an 87 on the PPL written.
Right not I'm working on IFR and expect to go for the ride just after passing 40 hours.
Should I be worried?
BTW, I have a friend who just got hired by Colgan. Didn't tell me anything about the interview though....
