I was told that 4 internal LORs get you maximum points. I haven't a clue if that's true though.

The current hiring environment is slooooow. However

1) there are still significant retirements coming
2) airframe delivery rate/uncertaintly is likely to improve
3) there are only so many high time ULCC captains

Chances are good that the hiring enviroment will improve before too terribly long. 1000hrs 121 TPIC is a very solid base to work on. They will call.

I had 6, 3 from LCAs/CPs I flew with as a captain at a previous company, that went to united a while ago, and 3 from recent NK FOs that were smart enough to go to UAL before I did. You NK? PM me...

You are missing PIC and that is the problem. Right now you are competing with 10yr+ LCAs and captains from Frontier and Spirit.

when more “normal” hiring resumes, presumably TPIC will be the metric or at least a threshold. That’s the biggest hole you can fix to get attention when things speed up

Currently at SWA. Going to be many, many years before I can upgrade. UAL has always been the dream but SWA was the only one to call after military. Wonder if it’s better to leave to get TPIC or stay…

leave to where? If you say a regional, let me know where you are and I’ll come smack some sense into you.
