Skywest, Pinnacle, American Eagle.
 
Does anyone know how hard these companies have been with posted minimums? Are they interviewing lower than posted and how big of sticklers are they about the 100 multi? Thanks.

SKW generally sticks to 1000/100.

You can get an interview and get a conditional offer with about 800 from the ATP program, but still need 1000 to get a class date.

There are rumors of CRJ qualified pilots from other airlines getting on with less than 1000, but I have yet to actually meet anyone or see anything in writing to that effect.

How about pinnacle and american eagle? Any word on how those two companies operate as far as minimums go.

Doesn't necessarily have to be CRJ time...

just apply, you will probably get hired. if you have 250/50, not to good a chance unless you are from one of those atp programs we have a deal with. 500/50 you almost have enough to seal the deal. 1000/100 welcome aboard you can start class next monday.

Airsupport are you referring to American Eagle or Pinnacle when you say to just apply? Thanks for the help.

I still haven't met anyone who has less than 1000... or know any line pilots who has met someone with less 1000. So far it's just what I hear on flightinfo :rolleyes:

Ive heard of a few people at Eagle getting interviews and getting hired below the minimums. With the right background (4 year degree- aviation related helps, current on all flying, current aviation job helps, good recommendations) you might have a shot.

But I have also heard of people who have good experience, well above the posted minimums, and not getting hired... and not even getting interviews...

Your best bet is to apply and see what happens...

Good luck!
