My recommendation just got the call on Thursday, so it seems that the window is opening again. And said pilot is not ASA, so it must be open to the rest of the world.

Even in current classes there are some nonASA mixed in, though they are the minority.

The published mins are:

2500 Total Time
1500 Turbine
500 Turbine PIC

Im not sure I have seen/heard of anyone in class with less than 5000TT. I asked the same question probably 6 months ago and that's my conclusion.

So as long as you’re able to get awarded a line with MSP overnights, I’d say you could count on getting them. Of course this is still ACMI, with a scheduling department whom only know ACMI. So be prepared and best bet is to not let scheduling know you’d prefer MSP overnights. Just saying....

Thank you much!

In the past it was said they were looking for 5000 hours, true international experience, and wide body time. If you met two of the above you would be a definite candidate. If you only met one then you would need to be very strong in that area, or have something else in your background that would indicate a unique suitability to operate in our environment. This was back when I came in under the old contract when slots weren’t as competitive as they are now, so take it for what it’s worth.

Does military aviation do much to help? I should clarify.... Military helicopter time which is obviously not as valuable military fixed wing (potentially worthless depending on the company)

I have flown with some pilots here whose largest percentage of flight time was in helicopters. Often the rest of their time was in smaller turboprops. You have to play to win. Fill out the application, try to network and give it a shot.

How do you apply these days? Seems they’re not accepting apps through the website & the apc link doesn’t work.

You don’t. The window for new apps opens at the beginning of the year. The people being called were the guys that were already phase 2.
