Multi Requirement
 

What do you think will be the multi time requirements when most everyone starts hiring again? I'm sitting at like 1500tt and 100me. Building total time little by little. I'm just worried about the multi. Ive been trying any chance I get to gain more multi time but its pretty hard to come by without buying it (around here anyways). I'm not even going to do that.

When hiring eventually picks up itll be pretty high...alot of 121 guys still on the street so expect about 2000/500

A million...

No, really, stay single-engine -- you'll be happier in the long-run LoL

And honestly, if they are not current on everything, the street is where they should stay. There have been a lot of people stuck in CFI positions that have been paying their dues. Just sayn'. I have a feeling it will be high...somewhere around 200-500 ME depending on the airline. TT somewhere in the ball park of 1000-1500. Just look at what Eagle has now. That should be a good indication.

So you think all those guys that got thrown to the curb should not get the oppourtunity to come back because they are not current, probably because they could not find a job. How long have you been a CFI, a couple of years, its not going to be 1 year as a CFI then RJ captain in a couple of years for a long time bud.

Nice attitude! Better pray you never get furloughed!

Yes, I'm sure the CFI with 1000/200 in 172's and seminoles is WAY more qualified than a guy that has been furloughed for a year...:confused:

Lol, nice...

Hate to break it to you but a pilot who has completed 121 training and flown a few hundred (or thousand) 121 turbine hours is worth about ten CFI's to an airline hiring department...they will take a rusty turbojet pilot over a current CFI any day.


As to the original question...

When hiring starts, expect competitive times to be 2000+/500+ with 121 turbine time.

When things settle down a little, expect 1500/200. That might take over a year.

Not to mention that a pilot furloughed for a year can be brought back online (or into the same type) in 1-2 weeks of training (depending on time away and the airlines Training manual) instead of 4-6 weeks for the new hire. And your "currency" gets taken care of then.

As far as the hiring requirement, as long as you have the ATP mins you're going to be ahead of the latest batch of zero to heroes.
