The 4th guy did a few hundred hours at a regional and then went on to fly heavies for an international cargo carrier where he’s at now, around 1,800 turbine time, no TPIC. Not sure on college degrees.
over at frontier we just announced major hiring in the tune of hundreds which is basically going to equate the same on a % basis to legacy hiring next year.
would not be surprised at all if the hiring drops down to no PIC time sometime mid next year as qualified apps are ran through on this next uptick.
the guy who posted over 10K TT are extremely few are far between. To be honest outside of spirit it’s hard to believe somone has 10K hours in this environment and is just now wanting to find a career airline. Everyone has their life choices and not to knock the gentleman above, because in the end of the day people have good reasons on making the move now. With that being said, don’t expect those unicorns to line the training center after six months of legacy hiring numbers plus now Southwest…
