I am guessing if you failed a private pilot checkride way back in your career and forgot to put it on the app now is the time to put it on before the interview. I am sure it will be addressed. Mistake’s happen on these airline apps.

I know many people who have made minor changes between invite and interview and all of them are flying Delta planes now.
I did that. I remembered my graduating GPA from college and when I sent for my transcript I requested another copy for me. Turns out I had a higher GPA. As long as it's more than 3 days before your interview you can modify it. My classes and grades weren't mentioned, but a change I made to my availability (I increased it by 2 weeks a few months prior) was brought up.

I personally know someone who was hired with zero PIC time, fwiw.

The app won't be scored until it meets certain requirements that include all the "must haves." Qnd as involved as airline apps is, the sooner you start on it the better. It also drops off after 30 days without an update.

The turbine PIC time is not a requirement actually. I think the question had to do with the 1000 turbine FW time (PIC or SIC). I may not ha e read it right though. Wouldn’t be the first time.

Good catch…I need to RTFQ.

With the way our scoring works (once a year by a person), I personally would recommend waiting until a pilot has hit the mins on any requirements. If it’s just a preferred min that you haven’t met, I’d submit ASAP. Just my .02.

I think you meant zero Turbine PIC?

Just to be clear, you got hired with less than the required “1000 Fixed wing Turbine” (not TPIC, which isn’t a requirement)?
