I wouldn’t look at it that way.

This and most airlines are a meat grinder when it comes to accepting and processing applications. Resumes of all kinds stack up, are sorted and reviewed, and occasionally purged. It’s data collection, no one is questioning if you as an individual have the right to be applying.

There’s no magic formula or numbers in your log book that guarantees success in hiring. The name of the game is getting the chance to turn your resume into a living breathing person, to be more than the sum of hours.

Never talk yourself out of applying, don’t take it personally if you do not get a response. Update regularly, and if you feel your resume is on the lower side of experience, that’s an even more compelling reason to get some face time at a meet the chiefs event.

Per the director of standards, a recent interview of 30 had a high time of 3300 hours.

We would rather have someone here that wants to be here than someone who just meets the mins and doesn't want to be at their regional.

Just please come and support the group at reaching for fair industry pay and retirement.

Wow, that’s a huge chance from a few months ago. Everyone in my class had upwards of 4,000hrs with the highest time of around 8,000.

I would imagine, with the near continuous hiring now, (with the announcement) it will creep down again.
