Do most regionals have more than 8? When I was a new hire at a different regional we had 5 sim sessions then 6 and 7 were the checkride. I figured 5 was on the low side but somewhere between 5 and 10 was the norm.

How many hours equals to 8 sim sessions?

A sim session is generally 2 hours. Someone correct me if i am wrong.

How do you have a checkride with 2 sims? Isn't one sim the jeopardy event?

I’d say it’s because now you have to have a pic type, even have to use the tiller.

A sim session is 4 hours. Typically 2 hours PF / 2 hours PM.

Talk about getting off topic. I find it funny how this thread creator wanted to know what kind of time people are getting hired with and not a single person has actually answered it. Page 3

So if anyone can contribute to a list of who's requiring what in the multi column, that'd be useful I think.

Carriers I know for certain that will hire with 25+25:

--Piedmont
--ExpressJet
--Cape Air

Good info!

Does anyone know what Air Wisconsin, PSA, or Endeavor interview/hire with?

What he's asking is where he can apply and get an offer without having 1500 hours.

First look at the places offering sign on bonuses with 1 to 2 year leashes costing about what first year pay will be. Those places want warm bodies. If you want a job working for a regional where you won't hide your wings while strolling the airport - then avoid the dangling carrot of money up front to get it in the rear.
