The is cut and paste from the front page of the career website.
Flight Hours
1500 hours total fixed-wing
1000 hours PIC in jet aircraft is preferred; multi-engine turbo-prop aircraft, 12,500 pounds or greater; certain single engine turbo-prop aircraft, or combination thereof. A minimum of 500 hours PIC as described is required.

challenging transition for decades. But tell us more about this thing called the V1 cut you found so difficult. Maybe don’t assume everyone will find it as hard as you obviously did.

The app question reads “multi-engine turboprop or jet” ... NOT “any jet” or “jet of any class.”
We see that the app question sets a higher threshold than the website hiring page and other published info. So there is a (perhaps inadvertent) contradiction.
For those with <1500 “multi-engine turboprop or jet,” it would seem this is presents a barrier, as OP posits, unless clarified.
Anyone have solid clarification?

This is a nonissue.

You’re right. Sitting on your ass for hours watching the auto-pilot fly isn’t the same as experience in an F-16 or any other single seat fighter, but hundreds of guys have managed to make the challenging transition for decades. But tell us more about this thing called the V1 cut you found so difficult. Maybe don’t assume everyone will find it as hard as you obviously did.

No thanks, I won’t waste my time because I don’t care and I’m not trying to make a problem where there isn’t. 99% of whoever I fly with, F-16, C-5, civilian are a pleasure to work with and all very competent. Must be tough flying or typing with that chip on your shoulder there Ace. Give it rest.
