Aside from Spirit pilots… (I hope they are getting the offers and interviews they deserve) Are these numbers getting interviews or offers again?

Thanks in advance!

Pretty much exactly that was said to us at LPA. 1000 turbine (not TPIC, turbine) preferred. 2500 TT competitive.. Their exact words.

Now, all of my friends getting looks with those times or slightly more (2600 tt, 1200 turbine sic) are a320 drivers.. Dunno about the RJ folks. Big % of them are locked behind Aviate or Skywest pathway programs...

united is spooling up for a big year. Whatever the requirements are now, they will likely be significantly lower in 6 months. When the spirit supply runs dry will make a big difference

I actually don't know if they will drop much more. Average times of those hired may drop, but as far as the apparent requirement of 1000 turbine/2500 TT, I would assume they wont change. AA is hiring at a good clip but Delta being relatively subdued, I am going to assume the minimums won't change. My worthless .02

Believe me though I would love them to drop lol

poorly worded on my part. i think the average new hire experience will drop, i agree the absolute minimum will not likely be reduced

I will be getting furloughed on 11/1 and I had my interview earlier this month. Unfortunately, I got a TBNT, and it says I have to wait a year to apply again. Does anyone know if because of a furlough I can get a shorter reapplication window, or even the proper email to send to to ask the question. thanks
