Could one expect a possible interview with only instruction and single pilot single engine turbine. Military and internal rec. Minimal multi

Probably not. First, there are still 70 some odd people out on the street. Second, I believe the minimum time is 5,000++ hours for them to accept an application, and a good chunk of that needs to be multi time. I'm sure the minimum times are on their website.

The second there is a drive for that management will throw money at the pilot group...which they will gobble up and forget the word union or contract.

Minimums posted were 2500 tt 500 multi. And I'm talking a year or two from now when hiring is more stable.

It is impossible to guess what the competitive minimums will be when they start needing to hire (still > a year out at this rate). Depends on how many are leaving fracs for majors and how much the new rest rules impact the fracs. There are basic contractual (with the owners) minimums, but past that I'm sure anyone could have an opportunity in the right environment.

If you are sure the minimums are on their website, why didn't you look instead of throwing out 5,000++ hours... According to APC's profile it was 2500 (no pluses) 500 Multi 500 Turbine. I believe they were hiring guys/gals with the minimums.

Yeah,, you are correct. I shot from the hip. What I do know is when I was hired everybody in my class had well over the 5,000 hr mark. So, I went with that.
I also mentioned going to the website for better info.

So sue me.

What I was trying to get across is that a low time guy is going to find it hard to get in. And he has to remember that there are still a lot of people to get back first. And that is going to take a few more years.

Only 6 back after 2.5 years. 79 more on the street. That's 32.9 years' worth at current recall rate, but I bet a few drop out of consideration by then.

Recall rates do not/wil not follow any sort of "average" over a period of time. It is almost always feast or famine. It will not work out to 32.9 years. The company hasn't even been in business half that long.

Anyone who has been in the business for more than a decade will realize that at some point business will be booming again, and all these fractionals will be behind in staffing..again.. Different model, same results (airline vs. fractional).

Long time since I've heard anything with Flex how are things going there?
