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.

Which is sad because I know lots of highly qualified individuals that cant even get interviews.

Yeah, but that is not the norm.

9200 TT
5700 TPIC
clean record
4 yr degree
Master's
no military
not a CKA
internal recs from Fo's at DL, AA, US

Not a single phone call yet

Many of the low timers getting hired on at UAL and AA are military.

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.

They exist.

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.

I hear ya man. I am at a LCC looking to punch out, and nada.

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.
