I was right around where stuart was. I had close to 3000TT, 2000 PIC (0 turbine PIC), and about 600 hours of RJ time. 4-year degree completed. Nothing super competitive. Internal rec is what got me in. They'll hire people right at the posted mins I hear, but the training program will separate out those who can't do the job (unfortunately we lost 3 from my class). Not to say you have to be awesome to get through or anything, but they don't just pass people through to get warm bodies in the seats. I was really impressed with the program overall (takes a while to get through, though).

the training does take a long time, but it is very thorough. if you have a good attitude and put forth the effort they have no problem giving someone an extra sim session or two to get them completed, but they also do not have a problem sending someone home. the company is really big on internal recs, so if you know someone here hit them up for one.

P56C,
Thanks. The interview was really relaxed. A short written test, we had to fly an ILS on a desk top sim. We talked to H.R., then the fleet managers talked to us. They made it pretty clear that the flying is very demanding. For the most part, if you get invited to the interview, you have the job. We had lunch, then finger prints and a drug test. I hope that helps.

Ive been in pool since January. Apparently a small class this month and 2 classes in April has been the latest and greatest rumor. They are backed up on IOE so decided to take march to train more check airmen.
