You're right, mooney. Boy times sure have changed since those days. I started in 'the 90's at an airline that was based in NM, treated their pilots like sub-human waste, paid below the poverty level and rhymes with Mesa...which I think is Spanish for Sh%$!
But, they did require over 1000 hrs. total time and didn't bend the rule unless you were a grad of their ab-initio program. That was just to get into the Beech 1900D!!
