No PIC turbine
 

Would you go to a major without any turbine PIC?

Normally I would say HE!! NO but it probably depends. Are you close to upgrade or 7 years away?

Guys are getting hired at CAL with no TPIC when I couldn't get an interview(with 4 recs). That's all good and well, but if you get furloughed without at least 1000TPIC you could be up sh!ts creek. It's happened to many a good FO over the last decade. If you're under 40, do you trust your new co. to keep you employed for the next 20-30 years? That's a ballsy bet these days.

Everyone i know that has gone into the major had prior Turbine PIC time, except for one person that had 1 Turbine PIC.

not just yes, but he!! yes. ill roll the dice on it but like someone posted, people getting hired without the pic is a rare rare thing and you have to be hooked up like a mother

The reason you get PIC turbine is to go to a major.. If you can do it without.. why would you even ask ?

people do it i know a guy who went to CAL w/ no pic turbine and I know another who only had 300 who also went to CAL its all bout who you know

delta has no pic requirement and when united starts hiring again, they dont have a pic requirement either. competitive is a different story, but still worth the gamble to go for it

not to mention that 01 hires are upgrading at CAL, so the guys that have been hired in the last few years will upgrade soon enough.................man im jealous. 73 or 75/6 out of EWR I envy you bastards :rolleyes:

Thanks for the post, about 8 or so months out from upgrade. Could have an interview with Delta if I wanted, just not sure if its safe to go. I have about 2800tt and 2 grand of it is SIC turbine.

thanks,
