When I handed the recuriter my resume, before I could even open my mouth to introduce myself, she looked right at my flight time and said that I am not looking competitive, and then told me that right now, competitive hiring minimums are 4,000 to 6,000 total time. I get that I missed the big regional FO hiring wave of last year. But I wish I would have at least been giving a chance to market myself at RTAG before being shut down .005 seconds into the job fair.
Recruiters have told people they weren't competitive in the past and they got interview invited a couple months later. However that hiring environment was different. Reading between the lines, she told you to upgrade. 1600 TPIC will put you right where they want you.
