I am a mentor for an organization and provide mentorship to some FOs at a couple airlines. They are often asking me about hiring mins at various carriers.

Not so long ago, 500-1000 SIC turbine could get you a legacy job. If UA hires 2500+ in 2026 and AA/DL hire 1000+ as well, not to mention Alaska joining the mix, what are the thoughts on how low minimums could go? Obviously the gameplan is still to get TPIC, but even I myself have 0 TPIC and am staring at a legacy interview. Anyone more experienced than me have insights?
