Just relax, keep flying... Your time will come....

Yet all the captains I fly with tell me they were hired at Eagle/BizX/Simmons etc at 24 and about 1300hrs, I will agree most of those were turbo props but still, the climate changed, and the jets are prob. easier to fly.

All but 100 of your hours are turbine? Guess the TBM 850 must be the new C172 for training! Or..you are military. That would make more sense. T6 would be much more fun than a TBM.

Thats the problem is i don't have those minimums but I keep hearing rumors of people getting hired with FAR LESS than the published minimums. I am trying to find out how often this happens and at which companies.

Wouldn't " Far Less " than regional published minimums be about zero?

You're right - I was military, Navy T-34, Air Force T-1, then E-3 AWACS

Anduze (RIP) put me through the ringer in 2007. He didn't have the best rep at ASA as a Chief, but we got along well in the interview.
