I also wish they were doing another open house event or job fair. I got selected last year but was in ground school for my current employer. Really bummed I missed the opportunity.

Bunch of folks do, at least some MEM based. Can’t speak to what their commute is like but the MEM-HNL-MEM j/s are rarely full when I operate those flights. Have almost never had anyone j/s between HNL and the west coast.

Thanks for the quick reply! Don't understand exactly how your schedules work, do all trips start out of MEM? Or do a lot of trips deadhead you on the first leg?

All trips start and finish at your base (MEM in this example). If it starts and/or finishes with a deadhead you can deviate from the scheduled deadhead to/from your home or wherever you wanna go. You have a travel bank of $$ based on the value of all your deadheads that month, with some ability to carry money over to subsequent months or add to the bank (no expiration) by cancelling scheduled hotels. E.g. you’re a commuter flying a hometown line and you go home every day instead of to the hotel - $35/day into that travel bank. Lots of trips start and/or finish with deadheads in every base and a/c. Don’t have to be very senior to hold them, but you’ll have a lot less say in the pairing quality and layovers obviously.

Current jet military guy here:
~1200 TPIC time
~1600 TT
Unrestricted ATP/CFII/MEII
I was starting the application process online, but the first questionnaire asks the following question:
"Do you have at least 1500 hours total fixed-wing time as PIC or SIC in multi-engine turbo-prop or jet A/C or combination thereof?"
Selecting no gives me the response that I don't meet their minimum requirements. I thought 1,000 TPIC was the minimum...? What I don't want to do is select yes (having more than 1500 hours total, but not TPIC time) and have it bite me in the ass for not being honest.
Does anyone have any insight?? I can't move forward with this application unless I answer yes.
Thanks.
