Default Trans States hiring

Are people actually getting hired with a cmel and 25 multi? Is it even worth your time to send the resume in? I realize they probably don't need to be there but are there actually people who have got their foot in the door with 250?

Some people have been hired with low time like that, but they have also done bridge programs and lots of training in 727, CRJ or MD80 sims at schools like Purdue and Flight Safety Academy. The people who have the sim time have been successful getting through training, but some other low-time people have had trouble getting through. They may give you a shot and they may not. If you get the chance to fly a jet at 250 (scary) you would be a fool to pass it up. The lines at TSA aren't terribly commutable unless you live within 1-2 hours flying. FYI.

The people in my interview group all had at least 700 hours. I personally was at 700/60. Last summer a couple friends got hired with less than 400 but one of them did an internship there.

You'd likely have to know somebody or go through flight safety like soon2bfo pointed out to get hired that low.

I talked to a person in the crewroom not too long ago that had 270 hours. This was after IOE.

met a guy in groundschool a couple days ago, was from parks college (SLU) and he had 270 TT, and apparently had just gotten his multi-commercial on saturday, then started groundschool on monday, which tells me he was hired on the basis that he "would" get his multi certificate.

I say if you feel your ready for it "which you probably aren't" come on in and join the party that is transstates.

heard that a lot are busting recently. may be a result of the shortened training, or people that are not studying as they should. most likely a little of both.

they're about 30 people away from runnign out of qualified FOs. after that (around august or so) they'll have to start hiring "CQFOs" (it's the company's way of getting around the dirty phrase "street captain"). after that, there are few guys that will meet the mins in less that 2 years.

There are a lot of people that will meet the mins in less than that. I will have the time in less than a year.
