I've heard about people getting hired by Frontier with less that 100 hours jet time. (not talking about Cadet programs). Their website says they still require minimum of 500 jet time. I thought if I don't meet minimum requirements I shouldn't even send my app (it's "unprofessional"). So should I send my app if I don't meet minimum requirements or am I missing something?
Thanks!

I can’t tell you what to do and you can argue both ways. Me I am a firm believer in shooting for the stars and let them say no. But that’s me. Doesn’t make it right. Most my FOs with low time come from the universities like you said though. And let me add that most of them have been great so far

It has been said in the past that some airlines even like you applying early because it shows motivation and interest. I doubt anyone really cares these days as they’re all looking for as many pilots as they can get. So no, it’s not unprofessional. Apply now and keep updating as you gain experience.

Negative. I did have a LOR and have a bachelors degree. Not sure how much that’s weighted or not.

I'm all for it and hope it happens, but been hearing that monthly since Jan I think....everybody always gets it "from a reliable source in the union......."
