It’s hard to say what they are currently looking for, but regarding your friend, are the majority of those hours as SIC for the 135 op? If so, if it were me I’d try to upgrade at that operation if they haven’t already and build some TPIC. That kind of time absolutely does matter in this day and age, even though many tried to downplay it over the last 2-3 years during the major hiring binge. It may be tough trying to get noticed from any regional right now with those times and especially if it’s majority SIC time.
