General career advice: Don't get hung up on what anyone thinks is "competitive" for any job anywhere at any time. Just apply if you're interested. I got called for an interview some years back that I had never imagined I would be called for because I didn't check all of the boxes that supposedly were required in order to be "competitive".

Another Public Service Announcement
Here are some numbers from the CVG Oct. 2021 Bid Pack : 109 Captains, 108 FO's eligible to bid. 66 Regular Lines. 29 of those lines are ~ 1 to 5 hours over 65 hour base. There were about 5 that pay a fractional amount between 65 and 66 hours.
Most Junior Captain DOH: Aug 2016. Congrats to the 6 151ers who upgraded. 50% Capt. DOH is Nov. 1994, numero uno hired in 1978, and will be retiring this year, I think.
FO Stats: There are still 10 legacy (pre 2016 hires) as FO's. DOH's for 25%, 50%, and 75% FO, resp. Dec. 2016, Aug. 2019, Jan. 2021.
Hth- You're Welcome.
Addendum: The latest "Nifty Fifty" plug DOH is Apr. 1993. I think there are maybe 2 original plank owners of the N50 club still flying for ABX. Moniker originated in the early 90's (or even earlier) by crewmembers who weren't part of the Nifty Fifty. List changed over the years with each T50 retirement.
