I'm closing in on 1500 with about 700 of that turbine time. Wondering if I have a chance?

 

Biggest factor will be who you work for and does UAL hurt a competitor by hiring you away... if so then you're competitive enough, especially after a job fair. If not, keep plugging away or go get hired at a UAL competitor, or their feeder.

Hiring at Mins?

 

Based on your previous posts, you aren’t competitive at the moment for a legacy carrier, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apply.

 

750 is the auto trigger for a review of your app.

 

Deltas calling people with 1900TT. Not now very soon. Non military too I'll add. Regular dudes who are non box checkers.

 

That's not nearly enough information to make an educated guess but even then, why does it matter? Are you trying to make an upgrade and stay or leave and be a FO decision?

Your chances are exactly 0% until you put your application in and meet the application minimums. If you have 1500 hours but that's all from the blue angels and space shuttle, you're the CEO's favorite nephew with a 4.0 GPA from Harvard and you have the charm of Ryan Seacrest in the interview room yeah you have a better chance at getting hired immediately. If you're at 1500 hours with 10 checkride busts your chances are slim. Anything in between is going to be "it depends". Nobody knows what exactly the magic fomula is, all you'll get is thirdhand, "I heard someone had this many hours when they got hired" with zero context of what that particular candidate's resume looked like or how they did in the interview. All you can do is fly more, improve your resume by checking as many boxes as possible, keep updating your apps, work on interview prep, go to the meet and greets and eventually you'll get the call.

 

The mods should sticky this reply to the top. It's the most accurate answer to an unanswerable quetion, especially when insufficient background information supplied. It's a question that gets asked over, and over, and over.

 

This guy was asking the same questions over on the Delta forum a couple weeks ago. Entertaining read. Guess he didn't like the answers he got over there.

Oddly enough, everyone except me told him who cares, apply anyhow, and patted him on the head. I told him it was unlikely he'd get hired with those quals and got shouted down.

 

I'm going off all his previous posts on the subject. Being at the bare minimums with no 121/mil, etc. does not make you competive, but it doesn't mean you won't get called, either. It just means that you are at the mins with little additional feathers in your cap, which most people getting hired are not.
