Im just curious if anyone has seen this lately as the norm now. I went to a pilot hiring event last year and they said I needed 1000 turbine to be considered. Well I’m a Captain at a ACMI and still no call. Not sure what to do now.

For mainline United the lowest I know of is 500 turbine time coming from AA wholly owned RJs.
UAL does hire ACMI CAs. Re-submit your application with the new system with you haven’t after having a professional prep company review it and your resume and update monthly and add some LORs to it. I know a person who’ve had 4 checkride failures that UAL hired but a person with 6 that UAL told they weren’t what they were looking for at a job fair.

get over it and move on. Nobody cares that you hate United and have hearts in your eyes with Delta.

Southwest is still holding the 500 turbine min requirement. About 6 months ago their pilot application website got hacked and exposed they had only 3,000 applications on file. Probably half those applicants have been hired at the big 3 already.

So having never done 121 work before, how hard will the training be compared say to a regional? Or is it about the same? Regionals are accustomed to taking wet ATPs. The legacies are not. Has their training department adapted to this new reality, or does it matter?
