How many total flight hours?
I've seen graphics for UA and Delta published by ALPA showing what the least, most and average flight hours a new hire had in 2015. It seems like the least was 1500 the most was 24,000 TT. And the average was about 5000. Do people feel that is accurate/would it be reasonable to say the average TT if you broke it down civilians vs military would be 3000 and 8000TT?
Also does anyone have the data for 2016?

Optimist maybe but if I said I hope to get hired at a legacy with under 5k that is optimistic (possible but not as probable). So I want to set realistic expectations. I think this kind of data would be useful to aspiring pilots and regional pilots.

I agree purely flight time is a poor way of measuring anything.
Hence the need for a resume at an interview I guess

DL published their avgs (1/2014-10/2015) -
Civ 7700 TT 4100 PIC
Mil 3100 2200
UA and AA have released some data but it's not as detailed -
UA 2014 - combined avg 8600. Mil - 3500.
AA was sub 6000 TT for all? Can't find the fact sheet. AA published their f/t TT. Average that into the class breakdown (80% +/- military for non f/t's) and the TT estimate might be closer 7,000(?).
