Default Competetive hiring "fighter" flight time?

Gents, What is the going competetive hiring flight time for the "fighter" guys out there (Maj/Cargo)? Fighter has quotes b/c I'm a Prowler guy, but get similiar hours.

Side note: I'll leave my first fleet tour this summer with approx 1800 TT, 1500 PIC (thanks to 3 tours in the desert). This will be followed up with a tour in the training command, another 1000 PIC, before EAS. Thanks.

I think 2800 is more typical of transport types. You should be in good shape, especially with all the PIC.

You'll be fine as long as you aren't a convicted (note "convicted") child molester and can pass an interview... lots of gouge at the training command for the transition and you'll have the SAU to get rec's from. Money.

From the hornet community everyone I knew that got hired had around 2000 total. Some less some more, it seemed to make no difference as long as you had the companies mins met.

If you meet the mins (ergo, 1000 or 1500, etc, depending on where you're applying) you should be plenty competitive.
