2) Purchasing 100 hours of multiengine flight time alone will not make me competitive. Although the minimums are 500tt and 50 multi. I was told that realistic competitive numbers are more in the ballpark of 1000tt and 100 multi...
Can you clarify this. Specifically it is confusing that he says such and such are the competitive minimums when there currently is a hiring freeze. Or did he mean to give mins expected at other times maybe? Also, mins like 1000/100 don't square with mins we frequently saw in the regional market only a few months prior.
