Low time applying to FO position

I currently work for another ACMI carrier. I recently upgraded to captain on the 74 but having seen the mass exodus of pilots here, I don't want to be left holding bags. The writing is on the wall. Having said that I recently applied to K4 but I only have 3600TT. Do I still have a chance or will the system kick my resume?

Apply and see what happens, got nothing to lose.

Which ACMI are you at? What's the writing on the wall?

Look at his post history. It’s Western Global. No captains from Atlas are leaving for Kalitta, jesus.

get that 1000 PIC heavy jet

Yes, you would have a good chance at K4, but Heavy Jet 747 PIC time isn't something to walk away from too soon. Get at least a 1000 hours while you can.

Alright so same question on the low time except I’m 1200 hours short of 4000 but I have a turbo prop type rating and over 1500 tpic and unrestricted ATP. Any chance? Applied in April but sent in resume again with updated times today. Haven’t heard anything.
