Well, there's a chance he hasn't been flying 5 years with those hours...

How many years do you have left ? 6 or 7

So, quoting yourself now, I might be over 50, but wouldn't do that on reddit, NVM here.

Congratulations! I only did the MTC and I have almost the exact same time. My turbine time is all 121 time. I have almost 3 years at a regional. Zero fails, no criminal record and yes I wore a tie. Anyway, I got an email today that says they are hiring people with “Preferred Requirements” first and then contacting people who meet their minimum requirements. It’s an odd email that leaves me in an awkwardly hopeful spot. Did anyone else’s email literally say TBNT or reapply in 6 months? Because mine said neither.

I don't mean to be a jerk, but the fact you think you ~1950TT and only 10 months at a 121 carrier is overqualified for a major airline is laughable. Sure, others got hired with the about same time time as you, but maybe they have/displayed a better attitude?

Perhaps you should read that. I've probably been here longer than you and I know exactly where we stand. We're never going to be FedEx plus 1 etc, plain and simple. I've accepted the fact of what we are and nothing is going to change that. The fact that people are leaving here faster than the time it took them to get hired should tell you something.
