In short unless your willing to take the bases no one wants *cough*Midwest*cough* don't expect a year round base for a few years.

1000 is a good starting point but there have been plenty of FOs hired with (much) less in the past, particularly former ramp/cust service folks who transferred over to the flight side so you never know, all you can do is apply.

Thanks for the info. Might have to introduce myself to some of you at SJU one of these mornings before I hop in my 172.
