but how many people actually get in with those times?? obviously the more time the better but is there a line in the sand to shoot for beyond which your chances are markedly improved?? 750? 1000?
also how important are age and college degrees in the equation? im 23, and have finished 2 years of my 4 yr college degree. do i have a realistic shot or would i be wasting paper sending resumes to all the regional carriers?
If you want to fly for a regional, send them your resume. The worst thing that will happen is they won't call you. I got called to interview at one regional when I was way short on their published mins. Let them decide how much is REALLY enough time. Besides, you may have something on your resume that they like. If you get the interview invite, you have enough time to get hired.
