RAH has hired recent Purdue grads with 500 hours total time...

"Standard minimums"? They don't exist anymore...

Thanks! A guy on flightinfo made it. By the way, I am trying to gauge interest to see if anyone is interested in some stickers.

Are you sure or pretty sure? I'm under the understanding that is not the case. I hope it is though....

murl, i won't, but i'm sure you might be able to find someone who will. I think i'm done walking in stuff for people here, had to many friends fail out, and i don't want to feel even partially responsible for getting them started on the wrong foot.

I wouldn't even dare ask anyone that I didn't know to walk a resume in for me. I do have a good friend that just got hired at TSA.

Would they come more near hiring you with a Bachelors as a low timer than without one? How much weight does that carry in the hiring department?

I know of one guy that is 20 that is at TSA, and I'm assuming b/c of his age he doesn't have a degree. And I doubt hes the only one. I don't think it will make much difference right now.

This month on reserve I have flown 57 hours, and with the airport reserve hours credited 70 (5 hours a day or actual block if +5). I am picking up a 20 hour 3 day at the end of the month, and the other pilots on reserve have had similar utilization. TSA needs pilots. Its not an easy commute unless you can reliably come from home to STL and arrive before 11:00 AM (no commuter clause). Everybody quibbles about having 1-2 more days off, but a job is really 90% your attitude toward what you are doing. TSA isn't a bad place at all. PM with specific questions.

I got a friend that is 20 at TSA, but looks younger; is doing his degree online. He tells me he gets harass by the passengers, and other employees due to his age

Keep instructing. Don't skip out on an entire chapter of your career. Not to mention you will be a better pilot.
