800 for a mil dude, pretty much impossible, especially for a fighter dude. That number can't be correct.

From: Square root of the variance and average of the variation
Starting at a regional Monday for currency (while floating in the phase II pool from 25 FEB). I'll be nearly bankrupt in 12 months though on first year regional salary 
. I was hoping for 3 months. After nine I'm going to have to start looking for a corporate gig with my FSI contacts or maybe even go back to teaching 142. I could stomach the pay first time around but now...not so much.
I've got a contact and strong advocate on the inside that has the ear of the chief. Let me ask about the 800. That's high. Given vacations, training, 117, cancellations, scheduling conflicts, etc. that's about max regional flying in a year.

I agree that it's way too high. That's why I'm skeptical about that number. I just got called for an empty slot for the 28th, so I'll be there for this Mondays orientation. I'll try to get the straight scoop and post it.

16.8 hours a month. Fabulous!

They seem to quantify hour requirements differently for mil heavy and mil fighter and civilian. But you are 100% correct, a fighter guy is lucky to get 800 hours in three years, let alone one. I'm highly skeptical of 800 even for civilian ... Is a steady stream of applicants with 800 hours within the last 12 months probable? I doubt it.

Hvydriver: Double congrats now
Std Deviation: Glad you got into the region so quickly
I'm in a unique position because my flying job only gets me about 200-250 hours a year because of our mission, but I remain current and go through training / checkrides in three different aircraft a year. Never had a single issue with training. I'm also at just uder 5000 PIC time.
If they really want higher times, i better get the kazoos and streamers out to root you guys on
