Pinnacle. Don't know how it is now, but last year they hired lots of guys from bridge programs. Some of them [like me] only had 200-250 hrs total time.
The lowest time I heard get on was 193 hrs total time. Part 141 for all Private, Instrument, and Commercial-AMEL only.

Qoute ShyGuy: I was hired for a CRJ-200 with 236 hours total time. Now that was fast.
Wow!!!! Anyone else remember how CLUELESS they were at 250 hours total time?!? That is just freaking scary. It's one thing when Lufthansa put guys through ab initio, but holy crap.

My understanding is that the military does this all the time. But lets face it 250-300 hours of USAF, USN, etc. flight training is quite a bit different then the civilian world. I just remember the days of 2500 & 500 or get lost! New era I guess -- or was anyway

BTW Here's an example of a day enjoying the scenery. Yesterday I picked up in New Hampshire and flew down most of the east coast on V139 down at 6,000ft. It was VFR and the view was GREAT! Days like that are when I remember why I started flying to begin with. Jets are point A to B airplanes, and sometimes it's not about the destination, but the journey.
