They responded politely to my email. I think if I had the additional hours, I could have gotten an interview. I do know of other reservists who fly for Skywest. If you do the allATP course they reduce the mins to 850.

Never hurts to try, right? Also better to find out first hand, because my gouge is second hand anyway. Where do you fly Hercs out of?

That is the dumbest a$$ advice I have ever heard or seen. If those are the words you live by, you must have horrible credit. And to advise people getting into a career that just doesn't pay back what you put in to get into major credit card debt (which they'll be paying back forever with the interests rates they'll be paying) is pretty egregious--

If twin time is your bottleneck, then you've already committed the time and money to entering the career. Unless you're willing to move, MEI jobs may not be available to you, and begging a few hours here and there could take literally years. If you have no prospects for acquiring twin time, you need to do SOMETHING proactive. No point in ending up a 3000 hour CFI with 20 hours ME...from a career standpoint that's the same as a 1000 hour CFI with 20 ME.
BTW, I have hundreds of MEI hours.

However, military guys who show up totally unprepared for one of the most thorough interviews in the industry will be shown the door...you won't get a job just by showing up with military wings and a pulse.
