Flight Experience: 2,500 hours total or 1,500 hours Turbine total.
FedEx, who recently dropped their TPIC says this;
A minimum of 1000 hours total fixed-wing pilot-in-command in multi-engine turbo prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof (GTOW 12,500 or greater) is preferred.
UPS says this;
Minimum of 1000 hours Pilot in Command (PIC) hours in fixed-wing jet and/or fixed-wing multi-engine turboprop per 14 CFR 1.1
Note, I simply picked those 3 because of their TPIC requirement, or long held TPIC requirement which was recently dropped (FX).

Fedex had a recent class with 1/2 no shows.
AA check airman guy told me SWA also had a new hire class half no show just recently.
Did you overhear that at 31 flavors from somebodys cousin?

My airline is looking at starting a flight school, and also a flow thru agreement with one or more regionals. They have never considered this before.
