That being said, you could spend all the time and $ to get there, wait in line for hours, and be told 'Thanks, please come back when you have 4k'.
Good luck!

Or.....you can work your tail off and get an interview with a Legacy carrier that has no silly restriction. I believe Spirit and Virgin America guys have some rediculous min hour requirement. My guess is that will be short lived because most guys will leave those two companies for better paying/more stable legacy companies. Just my two cents...

I agree that the 4000 TT number is not only silly, but it makes it appear Spirit doesn't consider many of our military pilots qualified to apply here. I think its more to dissuade low time civilian applicants from submitting resumes and spending time lining up at job fairs for a job they're likely not competitive for. We've got thousands of resumes on file, and continue to seek new applicants.
Is it harder to keep your incredible quality or your extreme livability in check on a day to day basis?

I do taste the sarcasm. I don't mean to be smug. DAL does a terrific job hiring the "perfect" fit. I can only think of one Captain that was a bit of a character. I really enjoy the pilots I fly with. Some are worth the price of admission. Additionally, I can’t say I have ever once had an issue with another pilot's method of flying a jet. DAL has a history of this type of culture. That said, DAL doesn’t advertise ridiculous hour requirements nor do they rely on job fairs to weed out low time kids. They have computers to do that.

Not exactly on topic but purely out of curiosity, is it just the fighter guys who tend to not accumulate a ton of hours or does that affect the transport guys as well?
I'd always assumed your C-130/C-17 etc... drivers flew a metric ton of hours every year, even with the whole only logging actual time the thing was in the air thing.
