Do you know if they are hiring at the VFR mins, or are the competitive mins a bit higher than what 135vfr specifies, but lower than 135 IFR? Reason I ask is because I only have 610/70.

i spoke with gary today and he told me the closer they are to 1200tt the better.. he didnt say they wont hire vfr guys, he said it just makes a lot more sense if they are closer to 1200tt..
