You're not serious, are you? That's the norm and they are not washing out.

Horizon Air hired a guy with around 250 back in 2000. He came from UND. Back in the 90's when I started you had to have over 2500 hours and some turbine time in order to be competitive at a regional. My plan is to wait until the majors drop below 1000 hours and strike.

Dassa spirit Sky... strike like a lion on his home turf. And don't forget about recency. Warm up at a regional a bit first to get your ducks in a row. Your never too old or too young.

Upgrade times
 
I know this isn't quite the topic of this thread, but it does relate to where I might be interested in applying. I see on the airlines database on here that Piedmont has about a 6 year upgrade. Is that still an accurate number, and does it look like that number might change in the coming years? Thanks.
