No. Your TT is too low. With few exceptions, 5000TT +- will get the call.

Just rolled over 4K myself, am planning on getting some Facetime with JB at a job fair as soon as I can.

I've got family 45 min from BOS and MCO. Gotta love not commuting.

4k TT seems to be the magic min for non-military. 5k is more competitive but I've never heard of any exceptions under 4k TT. Good luck to ya.

Thanks. Honestly I don't know that I'm very competitive on paper for the legacies, and I'm hoping that fact, some face time, plus strong ties to several jB bases can get me a hard look.

If 5K is indeed a more competitve number, the good news is most of that time for me will be spent in the left seat of a CRJ.

I'm in the same exact situation. Just crossed 4,000TT, but unfortunately the OBAP career fair is the same week as my CA upgrade training.

I've got 5500 TT, 5000SIC, no upgrade yet at my stagnant regional. 8 years in....I have several ties, high GPA, spoke with them at WAI, they said: without a blue dart, no dice.... unless I'm a girl....which I'm not such as discriminatory industry.

Any reasoning provided?
Lack of PIC?

I would say that your problem would be PIC time. Not Turbine, just total PIC time.

I had a interview with 4500TT, 3200 SIC and 1200 PIC (all piston), 4yr degree and High GPA. I spoke to them at Sun n Fun.

Unfortunately I got the TNT letter yesterday. I'll reaply in the next window (hopefully will be in about 6 month or so)

That doesn't make sense. Maybe they want to see how you react to them saying that moving forward. They absolutely take FO's with high SIC time. Unless something changed recently that I'm not aware about.

You must have 1,000 PIC. (Not turbine, just straight PIC.) A guy who got hired at a regional with 500 hours won't have that.
