2014- 6000+(hours TT), 1000+( Jet Pic), 4yr Degree
2015-..............
2016-..............
2017-..............
2018-...

I think you may be a little off for 2014. People are getting hired at AA with 0TPIC and UAL with less than 3K TT (I'm sure those same people know someone). It seems the selection processes are becoming more arbitrary.

I think you would be hard pressed to find more than a few regional FOs with 3,000TT, 0 PIC,without strong strong internals, getting any offers.

I know of one guy in my class that was "asked to resign" from two previous 121 airlines and he still got hired. Now I am am not sure what that looks like on a pria but still. Best of the best... roll eyes.

This is why I laugh when I watch you guys ASSUME you're all going to get jobs at the Majors. Every AAA baseball, AHL hockey and NDL basketball player thinks they're going to the big show, too.
