Might be realistic for a min, but as far as realistic for the average getting hired "very much so." At 3000 TT I was the second lowest time guy in my class. Average was around 6000TT and as high as 11000TT.

Obviously this is due to the fact that there were and are many high time pilots still on the street. Soon though, things will be back to hiring with the bare mins. ASA I is hiring guys with less than 900 hours now.

I see Republic keeping their mins at 2000TT until the puddle dries up.
