Prior Military?

With all due respect, 2,300hrs is .........................well, its 2,300hrs. Kind of worrisome if all we can attract is 2,500hr guys....................

This isnt necessarily a dig at you, I know nothing about you but your times are really very low

I would say most of those applying now are those that are at regionals without a flow. I am also only 28 so it's not like I'm some old fart who they know is going to stick around until retirement.
But will he wear theee reeebon?

Don't be worried. Be happy. 2300 today, hopefully 1500 in 6 months all leading to them having to give us a contract.

Why go fly an RJ when you can jump straight into an Airbus?

I was told by a check airman that our insurance had to agree to drop the mins down to 2500TT from the original 4000TT. If true (I don't have proof one way or another) I'd imagine they would have to approve any further reduction.

Maybe he can fill you in on the contents of the instructor / check airman conference call with the nc.

I got hired back in August with 2100 TT and 1,100 121 SIC. Networking and job fairs are the key.

How did you get hired at your last 121 with 1000hrs. I'm assuming you were 121 to have 1100 sic
