I've been hearing a lot of talk at my airline (Skywest) of a bunch of FOs with no turbine time or military experience getting hired at VX. Is this true? What are the latest hiring trends and competitive quals?
(I did search this thread but didn't find clear answers on quals of people who have been hired recently. Please forgive me if I missed something obvious.)

Yes we have a a lot of guys that come from Skywest. There are plenty of guys that get hired without any turbine pic time. The mins are around 2500 right now so if you have that then apply and go to a job fair for your best shot at an interview.

That said, the hiring window appears to be closed at this time, yes? There aren't any FO openings shown on the VX website...
