You only need 1000TT. 1500 rules is reducible under certain provisions.

2300 is less uncommon now a days at spirit. I was hired this year and I have less than 4k, while another two in my class had less than 3k. You'll see us run classes similar to regionals before we start to hurt for pilots. Even tho most regional's first year pay is almost double first year at spirit; shiny jet syndrome is a real thing.

They are at 3 years right now but will definitely increase.

Ah yes the embry riddle/und lobby. They figured out a way to lower the barriers to entry to insure they get paid but the pilots they train don't. What a racket!

Just wait for that red eye jungle turn with a new Capt and low time FO getting OJT when the sh1t hits the fan. You have very few diversion choices and now you are basically single pilot.
I understand everyone is new once, but we are starting to get to the lower end of the spectrum as far as experience is concerned and could be headed for a perfect storm scenario.
