OP - There's an entire thread about getting hired where guys have put down their qualifications when they got the major job. There's dozens, and perhaps hundreds, of resumes listed. The airlines also put out some averages. Basically the median guy has about 3000-4000 hrs PIC and 5000-7500 hrs total. Most of them are jet qualified, or turboprop qualified, in several different aircraft. The number of single engine turboprop pilots getting hired might be zero, especially with 2500 hrs TT.

Between the made up threat of age 67, or reminder of terrorist attacks, or war. And while they are right, it won't last forever (nothing does) everyone is fully aware that things can change on a moments notice in this industry, without someone adding it as a caveat to every thread.

Guess someone didn't like the dose of reality to the thread.
AA (and others) have a tendency to hire up until they furlough.

A word to the wise for all new hires everywhere. Make sure you have a furlough fund and hopefully you won't need to use it.

I know thats what is competitive now, i was just wondering when/if that number would make it down in the 3,000 range.

Well, another flaw in your plan is the 1k tpic. Can't think of anyone that requires it anymore. So with 3k you might get lucky with Virgin, Alaska, and or Frontier.
