I still can't figure out why it's so hard for "experienced" pilots to remember that it's NOT only time that gets them the job. It's what's on your resume, your cover letter...and if you get to the interview it's all about how you sell yourself and your attitude. It's about your past, your life experiences, past work experience, accomplishments, your attitude, your goals, and probably most importantly these days is your NON sense of entitlement...the list goes on and on. Your flight time is only one little determining factor that goes into whether you get the call or the job. We get so caught up in the numbers game that we forget reality. Yeah, sometimes very well qualified pilots get passed up and that's unfortunate. I wish everyone who applied and who fit the bill could get hired.
As for the low time guys (350TT more or less), there was ONE of those in my indoc class December 2007. I have no idea if they are still hiring really low time guys. If they do...then it's because they fit the bill and are qualified and will fit in with the pilot group.
