These are all required now to be competitive. It could change in the future but right now that's the situation.
Yep that's exactly right......i had the pleasure of meeting, shaking hands with and handing in my resume to E.M., the chief pilot......at the fltops job fair in Atlanta back in August. He saw that i had plenty of jet time, but he asked me how much glass time i had. Since i fly 30 series Lears, he was a bit concerned about the lack of or insufficient glass experience.....which is correct. He did not seem particularly concerned with the lack of 121 time......since all my jet time thus far is 135 time......but i could tell that he would have preferred that i had atleast some 121 experience. And it didn't seem to help much that i have just over 500 hrs as Kapitaan on the Lear!.....atleast he wasn't impressed.....and why should he be!?!
Anyways.....so until Compass CAN NOT afford to be so picky (if and when that day ever comes), they are going to be subtle sticklers for all 3 (or at the very least a combination of any 2)......jet time, glass time, & 121 time. Good luck guys!
