Continental mins
 
Continental's mins are 1500 TT and 1000 PIC. Does anyone know what is competitive to get hired there? (military 707 guy here)

Thanks for the help!

Don't forget internal letters of recommendation. This could be a sticking point for many.

I know several RJ FO's who got hired at the mins with internal recs. I also know CA's who can't get called, so I would say that an internal rec is the most significant factor.

Most importantly it depends on the reputation on the sponsor and the quality of people he/she previously recommended. With some people - same day call!

Good luck!

Am I reading this right?
 
What does someone need to get hired out of the right seat of an RJ?

Contintental's Hiring Mins:

1,500 hours fixed-wing total flight time
1,000 hours fixed-wing PIC time, or 500 hours PIC time and 500 hours SIC time in a turbojet
1,000 hours fixed-wing turbine time

1,000 hours fixed-wing multi-engine time (civilian or military) or 1,000 hours single-engine military fighter jet time
A current ATP written exam
A current first class FAA medical
A current passport
A Bachelor's degree is highly desired

If someone has 1000 hrs f/w turbine SIC, but no turbine PIC, can they get hired?

Yep, as long as you have the 500 regular PIC. 172/dual given counts. When you do the airlineapps, it will take out all dual-recieved from your total PIC. So, if you are one of those people who was hired at a regional with around 5-600 hrs, you may not make the 500 pic requirement after all the dual recieved is removed.

Creating a new account for each airline you apply to is the free way to appply at CAL, DAL and others that use Airlineapps. If you want the convenience of one application for multiple target airlines, you can pay $64.40 ($54.45 per year thereafter) for the convenience factor.
