I've heard (from an inside source) that their hiring process is about to change. Interviewees will be required to have internal recommendations from now on (not sure if that's true though). As far as flight time minimums…who knows. I did talk to a new hire last week who was one of the lower time guys in his class and he had 12,000 hours. Then again I’ve been told as long as you meet the minimums and have a recommendation, you are competitive. Time will tell.

As far as bases go, we could have 99% of post-05 pilots in LAS or DEN or PBI if the individual so desired. It is your choice. You still do not have to live around one of the 100 bases. You can choose to commute from BFE to any of the 100 if you so desire. There will still be some people commutting. I know of at least one person that still has a 3 hr drive and choice of two different airports.

How do you think being more particular as far as hiring affects people already in "the pool"? I received the "application accepted" email in 26 October and I'm thinking that when more qualified pilots get their application in, my application gets put on the backburner...oh well, I'll just keep truckin along and see what happens....
