So I’ve got no jet time but a lot of international turboprop experience. Any shot?

Yes, we have a ton of turboprop guys where the 747 was their first jet.

Looking through K4’s web page it says :

500 hours turbo-jet or 1500 hours and Graduate of a US Military Training Program and SIC/PIC Type Rating in a Turbojet Aircraft.

I have only 150 TPIC from a foreign corporate job but little over 2800 hours on the 737(foreign carrier)and currently flying SIC for a regional. Total 3300hrs +- and an associates degree.

Looking through the threads it seems everyone has at least 500hrs tpic. Am i out?

Thanks!!!

There is going to be a lot more hiring soon so it doesn't hurt to apply. If you feel that your are reasonably close to the minimums or have low time but something that may make you stand out (currently on a heavy etc) then send an application in, you have nothing to loose and everything to gain.

I would also say make sure you are able to cope with fire hose training, intense FTD and simulator and a world of flying that is so far removed from Regional flying it can make your head spin, they will not hold your hand or spoon feed you through it all. They will try to get you through but only so much, the onus is on YOU.

Any good prep tools to help with the firehouse but avoid negative learning?

Get with guys from the class ahead of you and have them walk you through the basic flows. After that hit the FTD as much as possible. If you run into questions ask
