New-Hire Flight Times
 

Good Morning all,

I’m wondering what are the average flight times of new hires? I know the website says a minimum of 2000TT with 1000 multi but I am curious what times pilots are actually getting on with.

Just got hired, starting class next month.

5400TT
3950ME
850 Turbine PIC

Congrats! Welcome aboard!

Thanks! Really excited to be here!

Welcome to NK!

a good amount of colleagues at my regional got hired with TT ranging from 2,100 to 2,500 and less than 2 years of commercial aviation, while others got hired with north of 3,500TT including captains with high TTs.
Kind of all over the place.

Were they hired within the last two months or prior to the TA?

My class average was around 4000 TT. Some guys/gals had no PIC and some had a lot. Some had degrees a few did not. Most went to a job fair or meet and greet. That seems to be the best way to an interview. That being said, I am not sure when the next meet and greet is

I know regional FOs going with about 3k and no pic.

My class was all regional or fractional CA, probably 8-12,000 hours TT and lots of Turbine PIC. So it’s all over the place. They want qualified candidates, but, honestly, they seemed to have a pretty good sniffer for finding guys who fit the personality mold thy wanted.

So, having said that, I’d go to a job fair or meet and greet and get in front of the recruiting team.
