Not saying they had 3K, just less than 3K, I know of one reserve guy with 1500 hours that we hired not too long ago. However you may be right because I know nothing about their PIC time.

None whatsoever. Ask the Southern guys.

There are no more "firm" aircraft deliveries on the Atlas side, not sure about Southern. I'd guess hiring is going to speed up since there are hundreds upon hundreds of Atlas pilots now trying to bail since management announced their intentions. Atlas is and will become a revolving door just like the regionals. Welcome to your next stepping stone!

It used to be DOB, but that changed to the SS# about 4 years ago ...

No planes on order, a very junior pilot group, and only about 30 retirements a year should result in really long upgrades times for new hires, despite the fact they are telling them it'll be 2 years. Then again 1/3 of new hires quit so that'll help...

No. It won't help. More senior pilots quitting helps with upgrades, not new-hires quitting. Airline Seniority 101. You must be new.
