Their pay is a lot like a regional too (especially on the EMB-190). Maybe that is why there is a coincidence!

buffalopilot

airbus pay isnt too bad

plus 1.5 times over 70 hours

190 capt pay starts higher but tops out low

do pilots start in the 190 or where ever they are needed

The forum search feature works much better when thread titles are more descriptive! Thanks for your help.

Thread changed from "Jb" to "Jet Blue Flight Time requirements?"

I think everybody is hurting for quailfied pilots right now. Guess they have to set the minimums somewhere.

Times maybe be low, but apparently you still need your ATP Certificate, or maybe just the written I dunno?
