Talked to a fairly new FO the other night. 3k hours and some Jet PIC seems to be an unofficial minimum. He definitely recommended going to a meet and greet and that someone with my time (2,100 and 680 jet PIC) might have a shot.

had a buddy do a meet and greet the info I got was to interview they like 2k min with some TPIC, they still really value TPIC. TPIC with lower TT > than higher TT and no TPIC

I was hired two months ago with just over 2000TT and 400 Turbine (all SIC). I did a chief pilot meet and greet and talked to a recruiter at a job fair, but nothing else very special in my background. You'll never know unless you apply-- and try to get some face time with a chief/recruiter.

This is false, hiring regional FO’s by the dozen, zero turbine PIC.

Just the other day the lead FA in a small group of FA' and other pilot said we were out of TP in the Lav, I said, you mean "we don't even have a square to spare?" ...... crickets from all the youngsters!
It's painful.

Hardest parts of my trips lately has been that none of the new FO's have ever watched any Seinfeld!!!!

I was a 24 Y/O NH. 3,700 TT, 450 122 TPIC, CRJ and 175 typed. The vast majority of our class were corporate folks and right seat to right seat RJ FO’s with a few ACMI folks. I’d say 3,000 is kinda that average for the RJ folks with a few of the ACMI folks having some less but a Boeing type may or may not have appealed to the hiring department. Seems the candidate pool is starting to trend more and more towards very wet and very fresh candidates. Has me worried sending folks to SE who are still new to the jet/121 world and no prior alaska experience.
