I was just told that the window is open for pilots again and wanted to get someone's opinion on weather I should even bother.
1700TT, only 200 turbines, 450 multi crew/engine
Former Capeair F/O, left because I couldnt afford to stay. 10 years in military although not a mil pilot.
With that in mind should I just wait or do I have a chance? Thanks

So, get an intense flying job for a year or two, preferably 121, and start hitting some job fairs just to get some face time with recruiters; so when you are competitive, it's not a question of "why you" it's "when can you start"...

Boy, some rough responses here, like we all haven't been in the same boat. Here's the good news, you're pretty close. 3k hours is what you need to at least merit a look. At this moment in time, since there's quite a few apps coming through, 4k hours will make you competitive. But with 3k hours and your military service I wouldn't be surprised if you at least got a look. And it really all depends on the pilot supply at any given time. I would've never have gotten hired here had I not applied pre-contract (3500 hrs regional fo, nothing special about me at all).

I have a question for anyone else who may be going through the same thing. I completed the online skills assessment and video interview about six weeks ago. I have yet to hear a single thing back from them. Has this happened to anyone else here? Should I just treat this as a no thanks, or might there still be a chance?

It took me 10 days to hear back and get an interview. I would say try and meet us at one of the upcoming fairs. That should get ya the invite.

Thanks for the replies. I talked with them at WAI this year about a week after taking the assessment. I was told this would help, and my stuff would be moved up quicker for a decision. Nothing since. I'll try to reach out.
