Thanks for the answers. Did I understand correctly?

Turbo Prop Pic = No bueno

Turboprop PIC+ Jet SIC = Bueno

Jet PIC = slightly more Bueno

Rocket Time = When can you start

Forget Rocket Time, it's all about Hammer Time

It has happened many times before, especially in 2006 and 2007. By hiring a candidate with less than 1000 TPIC, the airline ensures the pilot applicant is not qualified for SWA/Fedex/UPS.

My post was related to the fact that you aren't the hiring manger, so does it really matter?

As a counter to your idea, if I were a hiring manager of some well paying airline of the future and I wasn't getting enough quality applicants with 1000 TPIC, maybe I'd lower the mins to whatever it took to get all those guys from your airline. Regardless, If I were at Spirit or JB and Delta called, it wouldn't be a no-brainer.

I had a college French teacher get fired for using that on one of our tests. Sad, he was a great teacher and a really smart guy..

I believe that falls under "networking."
