Has anybody on here been hired with a military R-ATP at less than 1,000 TT, outside of the RTP program? I have an app in and going to the hiring event at sun n fun next week.
I ask because at my current 800 hours it looks like my app won’t even be visible on airline apps since they have 1,000 as their required minimums.

Depends on the domicile but, open time is currently the garbage nobody wants. If you're okay doing a 10hr three day redeye trip then sure, there is money to be made.

Absolutely you can make more than minimum guarantee without trying very hard. The stuff that SITS there in open time is generally inefficient red eyes. But it's not hard to pick up a couple of decent trips per month when they drop into open time. Of course, premium trips (150%) are extremely difficult to get. But you don't need those to pad your paycheck.

Anyway out here on the west coast, lots of 10hr 2 day redeyes going east. So if you’re making guarantee and pick up 2 of those on days off (open time, or someone posts for pickup), that’s 95 hours.

Buddy on a FDO line (fixed day off, where you get a block of either 18 on/12 off, or 9 on/12 off/9 on; long call reserve days) picks up stuff on his days off. It sounds like premium OT is essentially non existent. OT is there, like other say, but not necessarily great. Also people post their own trips for someone to pick up. I don’t consider that Open Time, but some people use the term interchangeably.

Interviewed recently and was placed in the “hiring pool”. I understand there are delivery delays with Airbus and that they are going from 50-60 a class to 20-30.
Has anyone placed in the pool and gotten a class date recently?
Trying to get an idea on when I can expect a class date. Looking forward to joining you all!
