What TT are the regionals looking for...
 

now a days. Have been out of the loop with the recent government proposed 1500. Whats competitive or needed for consideration?

it looks like the magic number in TT is 1,000... the more multi time the better... standard stuff...

If you haven't done so already, click on the 'airline profiles' tab in the upper right corner of the screen on this website. You can scroll through all the different regionals that are hiring (note- some are listed in the 'major' section) and get a pretty good idea of what each airline is looking for as far as mins.

Here is the next money question :) What if you fall short of the total time but well meet the min multi (with majority being turbine)

I think it depends on which regional you are looking at. Republic wants 2000, Compass wants 1500 and Eagle wants 800.

You won't get "looked at" without meeting minimum total time requirements... unless the company can't find enough pilots at their current time requirements.

It's never too early to get your resume in. Email it, fax it, send an email a week or so later to the HR department asking questions about hiring and making sure they received it. You'd be surprised and what's on paper vs what they hire at.

That being said I wouldn't be surprised if you start seeing a lot of regionals move towards ATP mins since that will be a future requirement.

I think it's the exact opposite...they're going to continue dropping the mins so they can pick up low timers and keep the payscales as cheap as possible. Get a nice healthy pool of them so when the ATP rule kicks in, they can coast for a bit.

Just apply at Piedmont. Mins 1500TT. Last month, interviewing 300TT. Ya, again, and we're nowhere near a shortage.:confused:

In seriousness, don't apply there, just do some searches, or go back 6 months in the PDT News and Rumors thread and read all the posts, not a good place.:(

:eek: :eek:

I'm fairly certain that the 1500 rule still has about another 2 years before it kicks in, so until then the airlines will lower the mins until they have fulfilled their need and probably to overfill even so that way they dont get short handed. As soon as that rule comes into effect there will be a definite shortage on the regional side since right now they are sucking up all of the guys with lower hours. Also that means that the quality of pilot coming through may be worse since right now they are passing on people with major issues.
