UA and AA seem to hire a cadidate with no tpic thesedays ONLY IF he or she has at least +5000 total, bachelors degree, and plenty of exceptional international widebody turbine jet experiences.
In addition to that, have internal recs, do a meet the chief, and attend job fair expos to be more competitive and to accelerate the selection process.
and Yes, I had also heard from a captain who does interviews saying that 1600 tpic is now a realistical number thesedays to get a shot.
