A little "inside" intel.

When I gave interviews:

For heavy guys, everything else being equal (hand carried resume, meeting chief pilot, having inside recommendations etc) 7500 hours is a very "magic" number. The computer would give a max flight time score to military guys with over 7500 hours for a human "look". Civ guys the number is higher. For fighter types, the number is lower but I don't remember what it was. (I'm thinking it was 3500-4000 fighter or trainer hours)

PS for those who don't know. The computer gives a "score" to a resume/application depending upon the quals of the pilot candidate. Education is scored; flight time; jobs held; leadership positions; check airman/stan eval; IP qual; "extra" duties (no kidding) (want a higher score, be a safety officer or teach Instrument refresher courses); schools attended (yes SOS etc COUNTS higher)---at our company, you had to translate the terms to civilian however; Did not understand stan/eval-- had to use Check Airman etc.
