is PIC "required"?
#3
I believe they want to hire Captains only. No specific time required. I know of a guy hired with 200hrs pic, another one with 600 and another with 800.
I would still apply. You never know!

Hiring here is going to be a moving target and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a guy with a resume like yours get hired. Focus on the stuff you can control, like volunteering, and I’d say you’ve got as good of a shot as the guys getting hired with a couple hundred pic

Dont think its mandatory with all other credentials. Looking on linkdin, you could find a lot of folks getting hired on at AA with no PIC time with time at the airlines less than 3 years total.

Just remember, there are hundreds of guys with college degrees, clean records, 2000+ hours of PIC time, a Check Airman letter, and more all sitting at the regionals waiting to be hired. Many with 10+ letters of recommendation. If you have no PIC time, you need to have something else that makes you more attractive than them to the hiring team.

Most have other "chips", though. Usually several (very good) letters of rec and relationships with the right people that help them get hired. Without an "in", it will be hard to get hired with zero PIC time for the next 6 months or so. After that, it's anyones guess.
