It was not uncommon for a year or so at peak hiring at United and Delta provided the applicant came from an AA WO regional, Endeavor or a LCC/ULCC competitor. I know guys from PSA, Piedmont and SWA who got picked up without TPIC and under 1000 121 SIC. One had just over 500hrs in an RJ. I know a bunch more who got interviewed right around 1000 121 SIC by UAL and DAL and were in class after their first trip post Captain OE at their regional.
