What is the new normal?
Saw this question posted elsewhere and thought this would be a good discussion for it…..With the absurd hiring boom + majors changing 1000 turbine from required to preferred, what are the lower 121 turbine times you’ve heard people getting interviews at UA with? I’ve heard 750 turbine routinely. Anything under that?

Wet ink ATP and a heartbeat is the new normal.

there isn’t a clearly definable new normal
The hiring market isn’t steady state. People are being hired faster than they can be regenerated.
The company takes the best available. Three months later the best available is different
It is clearly trending towards FAA minimums

No one here has that info, but I can tell you that the average age of a new hire is around 35, with the same median. So whatever the average 35 year old would have in terms of hours would be the norm.

Something like 1.5sd below mean probably comes across as the new normal. Someone who has peers, isn’t the 8 ball etc. that seems like something closer to late 20’s 2000tt

A similar mean and median mean the curve is relatively symmetrical. It doesn’t tell you how wide it spreads.
10 guys age 34, 10 guys 35, 10 guys 36
10 guys 24, 10 guys 35, 10 guys 46
Both have the same mean and median
What I’m saying is when people say “what’s normal” they aren’t asking what’s average, they’re asking at what point getting hired is plausible without especially good luck.
given that the minimum hire age is twelve years under 35 and the maximum age is 25+ years over 35, a mean/median of 35 means a lot of 20-something guys are getting hired.
