It is possible for the time to get dropped to maybe 2500tt with 500 in type. I dont know if this is just an insurance thing or mgmt- anybody know? I am sure a contract will happen before the jets show up, even now if the pilot group strikes NWA is screwed! This is a very interesting time and I hope all works out. As far as the low timers- I cant talk as a high timer (hired with 915tt/240multi) but I think 600/100 should be the BARE minimum.
