It completely depends on the current job market. In the mid 80’s, early 90’s, early 00’s and now, those times wouldn’t be competitive compared to the average applicant. In the late 60’s you could have written your own ticket anywhere. That time was an anomaly but it’s a fact that major airlines of the day were hiring pilots, yes to plumb fuel as an FE, but still, hiring pilots with breathtakingly low time. And the late 90’s and mid-late 00’s those times would have easily gotten interviews at many major/ national airlines.
If the average applicant is a 30 year old with 6,000 total, 3,000 pic turbine, two type ratings and currently flying 121, then the times mentioned above will be passed on. But there are other factors too. If you meet the published minimums, and you have the internal letters, then you may get the nod. Were you a sim instructor? Check Airman? Yes, military? So based on the cold numbers, right now, those times probably aren't competitive. But be patient, keep flying and those numbers will soon be nice to have.
