Not necessarily true, there are some people in my Mesaba class that have way less than 1000/250 hours. In fact a lot less... It was explained to us today that they're not really hiring us because of the hours and a lot of other things are factored. However don't get me wrong, not too many people are hiring and Mesaba is getting more selective in their calling to interview process. They told us that they receive 200 resumes per week. I can only imagine what process they use to find applicants.
