Shoot, when times were good (last year), you still needed about 600-800TT/50-100ME just to get interviewed at Comair, ASA, CHQ, SKW, Eagle, etc. and even then that was still very low time.
It went lower. the above mentioned airlines except CHQ and SKW all dropped thier mins, eagle wanted a wet commercial with at least 50 hours m.e., Comair posted 600/100, but hired peole with far less time than that, if you went to a jet bridge or were an employee. Wonder how many folks got on with Comair has a ramper, did that for 3 months then put in transfer papers?
Methinks this raising of mins is only temporary, once the backlog clears they will go back to wet comm. inst. tickets, just a matter of time.
