Regional hiring times
 

Hello-

Curious if anyone would be willing to share what kind of flight time/experience they have been getting hired with and at what regional airlines. Basically I am wondering if once you have ATP mins you are good to go or do you need more than that.

Thanks in advance.

You will be good to go. From what I've been reading, you will be able to interview and get a conditional job offer even before you meet ATP mins.

1500 hrs & a pulse.

Valid...even for less time

You will start hearing from airlines well before mins. I'm sitting ~1280 and already have a job offer and 2 offers to interview. From what I've heard from friends of mine, things start picking up after 1300

I talked to a new hire Air Wisconsin guy today. He said he has the ATP mins but doesn't have an ATP. I assume he will get it on his type ride during initial training.

That would be an accurate statement.

Several carriers are still requiring multi engine experience beyond the 50 (or 25+25 sim) required for the ATP-AMEL. SkyWest and Compass, to name two. SkyWest will interview with straight ATP mins, but no class date til you have 100 ME. Compass also wants at least 100. Republic and Eagle want 50 ME, they aren't accepting 25+25.

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

Companies doing that probably aren't the ones you want to be working for. There's a reason they're desperate.

Actually, the ones that are desperate have sign-on bonuses.
