Well, that is what I am starting to believe. Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I should subtract about 5000 hours and reapply. Airlines only get upset when you pad up your times, they probably wouldnt care if you take some off, would they?!!!!!

You could always sell a few thousand hours to some of the low-timers...

I was hired spring '05 and was by far the highest time in my class with about 2500 hours with about 300 turbine. I was told by more than one instructor back then I was lucky to get the interview because I was right at the point of probably having too much time. And this was before the "big pre-bankruptcy CRJ-200 announcement" I was told that (granted it was back then) usually 2500 was the cut off, the preferred time range was 1100-1500. and based on the times of my classmates that was quite accurate. I think the average (throwing my times out) was about 1350 with about 120 multi.

In my Expressjet new hire class we had 32people and 5 people that washed out had over 3000 Hrs. I heard from XJT training center that low timers do better in training and have a low washout rate.
